You know, random commenter that told me to “suck it up” because I was making “real” geologists look bad? I don’t like your attitude. I may still be a student, and I may have a lot to learn, but I’d like to think that being worried is something that’s common amongst all people, not just “whiny little girls from the ‘burbs.”
Regardless of that, I’m back from Argentina. I have been for quite some time now – August 1, to be exact. Almost a month, and not a day goes by where I don’t miss being there. The work was challenging but provided me with the knowledge to keep going on. The professors I worked with were amongst the top in their field and really knew what they were doing, and possibly as a result of that I felt capable and able. Most of the time.
I won’t lie to you and tell you it wasn’t hard – it was. However, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who was serious about geology. Also, where else are you going to be able to have a snowball fight in front of the largest mountain outside of the Himalayas?
Haters to the left.
