Geology 270 Research Paper
Geology 270 When it comes to choosing classes for a semester I always try to choose an enjoyable class. One where I know I will not have to stress over tests and homework. Last semester was weight training. This semester as I was browsing I stumbled upon a class titled Geology 270. This class caught my attention right away. I looked at the course description and read it. The thing that stood out the most was that in this class we would study the geology of the eastern Sierra Nevada in one of the most unique ways one could think of, a 3 day field trip. I have never been camping and I thought this would be the best way to do it for the first time. I figured since I would go with teachers and other students it would be both fun and educational. I was not wrong. So, I signed up for the class and signed up my sister for it too. The day of the field trip came quickly.
We woke up on October 2nd at 5am and walked to school with all our gear, our tent, sleeping bags, clothes for the trip and all the other utilities we managed to fit in our backpacks.

It was a trip of many first and all the things I got to do and see made the fall seem so petty. My injury has not healed but the memories of the trip are going to stay with me forever. On the bright side, when it does heal I will have a scar to show off and a great story to
