Good to hear you're enjoying it, though.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692080707969333711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495945046934115087.post-82961157591178652032008-09-19T08:31:00.000-04:002008-09-19T08:31:00.000-04:00I hope you can switch; it sounds like you'd be rea...I hope you can switch; it sounds like you'd be really happy in geology.<BR/><BR/>I actually wish I knew more geology. I took 101 a few years ago but I didn't pay much attention (back then I didn't really care). I know plenty about the biology side but I really need to better school myself on the basics of geology. Given the way things are set up at my school, though, I'm going to have to teach myself since there's no time for anything except physics and chemistry. I hope you can switch and find your niche, though. As thomas said, there's nothing wrong with having another geology major in the world. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495945046934115087.post-62322144911738292952008-09-19T03:16:00.000-04:002008-09-19T03:16:00.000-04:00It's interesting to see this development - the wor...It's interesting to see this development - the world could always use more geology majors! I can't speak from experience, but I've been told that you'll do fine if you take a mix of biology and geology classes. Aside from the potential department problems it seems like you would do fine majoring in geology and taking some bio classes on the side. I came to an interest in the geology side of paleo in a similiar manner - while I, sadly, haven't been on any field trips yet the labs are great and I found them much more interesting than the intro bio labs.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's good to see that you're enjoying the class despite the professor still needing to do some confidence building.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128159006302248607noreply@blogger.com
