The shells are all from Petone Beach, gathered on my field trip because I am a bad scientist and I take nature home in my pocket instead of just on my camera's memory card. Oops.

More Arty Things
No stories. Just pictures. Hah.

ESCI 202 Trip: Petone Wharf
On Sunday, the ESCI 202 class (Sedimentology & Palaeontology) took a field trip to Petone Wharf, a ways up the coast of the harbor north of Wellington, to look at waves and related ripple structures.
Unfortunately, the wind was heading offshore so the waves were negligible. It was still pretty though. I took pictures. Because, y'know, that's what I do: take lots and lots of pictures.
If you're interested in the we-are-doing-geology aspect of the trip, rather than the look-New-Zealand-has-pretty-beaches aspect, send me a message or ask in the comments. Casual readers need not be bored with science. :P

Flat, Sweet Flat
I had a slow day, pulled out my SLR, and staged myself a little photoshoot in the flat. Now, I get to foist my artsy nonsense upon you. Bwahaha.
First, a tour of my room.
Bulletin board!
A card from Oma, a bit of basalt with olivine in, and a lucky frog.
I need some posters.
My bed. It's small.
I finally bought a lampshade - not shown, obviously.
Kia ora!

Amanda Palmer in Wellington!
Today it's cold, windy, and overcast. I am staying inside, huddled in my room, until I have to walk to class at 3. In other words: Backlogged picture time!
Last Friday, we went to see Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) at Bar Bodega in downtown Wellington. Of course, it was pouring, so I only brought my Cybershot for fear of soaking the SLR.
We got to the venue in one piece and managed to end up first in line, which enabled us to grab fantastic places in the crowd. Unfortunately, I valued my consciousness over the third-row spot I'd managed to snag and sacrificed a potentially awesome camera angle for a glass of ice water back at the bar. I still got a couple of shots, though!
Laura, Elana, and Becca - we dressed up a bit...
Amanda came out to thank us for showing up and to introduce her opening act, Hera.
Hera was awesome. After her set, though, I was about to pass out, so...water.
Amanda Palmer herself.

Set for Summer!
I got some truly excellent news this weekend: I've been accepted into an NSF-funded summer REU at the University of Minnesota, working with a professor in the Institute for Rock Magnetism! Finally, I know what I'm doing when I get back to the USA. This is huge. If I'd ever had any doubts about my possible future in geology, they've dissipated completely. This? This is exactly what I want to do.
Being a weird kid and non-party-goer, I celebrated by eating an unreasonable amount of chocolate, trying pear cider (my second-ever alcohol), watching a movie with a few friends, staying up terribly late, and taking artsy photos of my farmers' market purchases.
The content of this blog has, so far, deviated immensely from my normal photographic tendencies. Usually, if I'm given free range with a camera, I end up with shots like these. (Readers who've seen my other photography blogs knew this already.) Pardon the break from informative travel blogging. =)
Also, I've been here for a month. Whoa.
