Double major Geographic Information Science and Anthropology, University of Minnesota system. Thought I'd be done in December but might have found a problem with that. I have a high school deficiency for foreign language because I only took a year of German back then. Last semester I took the intro to German class and was pretty sure the next class I needed was offered spring and fall. Turns out it's only offered in the spring and I don't have time to take it right now because I've got 5 classes and a funded research project. So hopefully they're willing to give me one of those incredibly rare waivers, or are willing to work something out so I don't have to stick around another semester over one class. I do not go to the vet center because it's a cramped noisy room, and I'd rather be in the library getting stuff done. By and large most of the vets I've run into around here are pretty normal and considerably better than some of the retards I met in community college. EDIT: I thought that Bingo thing would be marginally fun stuff, it is not, not at all. Casimir Radon fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jan 14, 2016 |

There was some guy in my German class who wore at least one Marine Corps Veteran piece of apparel every day, and had a bunch of hardcore tattoos. He was supposed to be in our group for the final project along with some other guy, both stopped showing up the last week of class.

The base education office might have lost my obligation form that was supposed to be turned in 45 days after fall courses started. This better not turn into "lol, pay your tuition out of pocket".

Missed out on applying for an internship with National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, turns out the applications were due in October. Might not have been accepted anyway because my experience with remote sensing was a bit limited at the time. Now trying to find something else preferably with the federal government. I burned through 17 credits last summer and barely worked so that kind of did a number on my savings. If anything else I want to make more than my know-it-all trainee is going to be making at his stupid insurance company internship.

Applied for an internship which seemed really promising, until I got to the end of the online application and they started asking a bunch of questions about my familiarity with environmental sciencey sort of things. Was only able to answer one of those questions in the affirmative. Sounded like a near perfect job and it paid really well so this is all a bit disappointing. Better go find some backup plans.

Now, geology students are a bunch of loving dorks. They're alright for the most part, but don't really get that not everyone is as excited about the stuff they're doing as they are. They all have field camp stories that are essentially even less interesting versions of basic training stories, but in their eyes are the equivalent of a year in Vietnam.

I wish I had more earth science stuff. The USGS internship I applied for made it sounds like it was mostly GIS stuff in the job description, then sprung a bunch of last minute questions about earth science experience at the end of the application.

Taking 17 credits over the summer term is exhausting. Especially when one of them is a field school that has you out in the field 40 hours a week, and one of the classes runs from the end of May to the weekend before fall semester starts. It made fall a real slog.

One of the girls on my team was telling us that her sister is on a study abroad down in South America, and keeps petting stray dogs, and not washing her hands afterwards, and stuff like that. So she's sick all the time and now needs to be debugged because she's got a bunch of fleas living on her.

Had two cousins join the army, then not last more than a year combined. Sisters one after the other. The first joined, got married to some loser from high school, went AWOL with some other guy, and got kicked out. This was after some other relative had told her that the army sucks, and maybe she wasn't really cut out for it. Her younger sister's story is a bit more ambiguous. She joined, then allegedly her boyfriend beat her up and pushed her down a flight of stairs. So that's supposedly why she got out. Then she went and had three kids right after each other. Because she didn't realize that antibiotics cancle ouy birth control, and just being dumb in general. Now years later she claimed her husband beat her up, but suspiciously she's the one who isn't allowed to have custody of the kids. I was always a bit suspicious of her reasons for not being on the army anymore, so it kind of seems like domestic abuse is her go-to excuse whenever she fucks up. Anyway the older one did some community college for a nursing thing and still hasn't graduated. She's a year or more older than me so at least 28. The younger one did some community college too. Seems like she has all the time in the world to study now that she isn't allowed to be a parent, but who knows? Personal preference is they stay down in Whitetrashistan where they belong.

I'm happy for the break. I'm maybe getting 4-5 weeks off between now and December. Of course I'm working 2 days, and spending 3 days working on my research project. So it's not like I'm off having a fun old time. I've got to have a vacation once I graduate. Gotta find someone who isn't a broke un-adventurous piece of poo poo.

So we're going through and coding some interview transcripts that each member in the group had to do. One of our team members is FtM and interviewed his genderqueer partner. So that transcipt is essentially D&D Bingo. Patriarchy this, and non-binary that. Also don't you know that queer people have a unique insight on the human impact of extractive industries?

None of the rest of the group had a better idea of what to do so we just rolled with this gender theme. Which could be ok since if we're talking about mining we could be talking about possible sex trafficking in the region, and how women feel about living in a mining community. There's not really a nice way to tell this guy that he's not going to find any transpeople up there, willing to talk anyway. EDIT: Also the whole transcript is riddled with typos which are making my head hurt even more than it normally would. Casimir Radon fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Mar 17, 2016 |

Got a class research trip coming up. Teacher gives us some brief guidelines based on some of the stuff that has happened in years past. 1. The hot tub next to the owners house is not for your use. That's why there is a fence around it. 2. Don't take muddy water out of a puddle and pour it on the rocks in the sauna. 3. Don't pee on the rocks in the sauna. Sounds like a military trip without the inevitable sexual assault.
