SUMMER!

Lol. So I totally was confused signing into this thing. Whatever.

David reminded me that I haven't blogged yet basically and he's right. So since I'm procrastinating doing important things, I'll do this for a bit.

What am I procrastinating? Preparing for tomorrow's KidMo lesson. Bad, bad me. But I'll likely be up late since I didn't hit the sack til ... 3 or 4 am last night. Which I haven't done that in some time because of school. YAY summer school. Wakin' up at 6:30 SUCKS! Maybe though I'll get used to it and it won't be such a hassle anymore.

*sigh* I need a job and I'm talking to Brittany about Applebee's. I'm going to go in on Monday and apply. Sweet. I hope something works out. Sooooo, if I get a job soon and it pays enough, maybe Jason and I will get married before he leaves, depending on when that is. And if it doesn't happen then it will happen later and that's fine with me. If we're more ready then, financially or otherwise, it will be better.

I also need to work out. Jason's making me jog. :P though I've actually had to cancel on him a few times, but I'll get there. I really need to work on my thighs and abs. raaar. Cause they're fat. But if I lose too much weight then my dress won't fit. :P I don't want to have to alter it too much.

Uhm. Taka told me to blog about geology, one of the classes I'm taking this summer. We are studying igneous rocks right now; Monday is our test on the subject. So I guess I will kinda teach you guys about igneous rocks :D It's good practice at least.
First of all, igneous rocks are characterized by their very solid "consistency." Some minerals (which we studied earlier) can be very soft. They are also homogenous; the crystals of minerals that form its compostition are evenly mixed. Lastly, the mineral particles do not line up. They are scattered randomly, but evenly, throughout the rock.
There are two sub-categories: Intrusive (found beneath the earth's crust) and Extrusive.
Intrusive rocks are granite (very light with some dark crystals), diorite (similar to granite but with more dark crystals), gabbro (even darker than diorite and very few light crystals) and finally pyroxenite (completely dark). You can see all the crystal grains of intrusive rocks. The hot magma solidifies in the ground, insulated by the surrounding earth so heat dissappates slowly. Granite is characteristic of continental terrain, like our Sierra Nevada. Diorite is also characteristic of contential volcanoes and can commonly be found in the old magma chambers of the Cascades. Gabbro and pyroxenite are found in the oceanic rifts, or magma chambers of ocenic hot spots, like Hawaii.
The extrusive rocks are more complicated. However, you can tell if you have an extrusive igneous rock if you cannot see all of the crystal grains. If "granite magma" comes to surface, becoming lava and then hardening, it is either rhyolite, obsidian, or pumice. CRAZY! Rhyolite is light (ah ha) and composed of ash and orthoclase feldspar (a light minerals) particles. You might be able to see the feldspar crystals, but the ash becomes one, big, vague, mass. Obsidian is a very famous igneous rock, characterized by its extremely glassy shine and its use for arrowheads by Indians. It is black but can turn brown/red from the iron oxidizing. It looks really cool. You can't see any crystal grains in obsidian. Pumice is also well-known; it is very light because of its high porosity, caused by gas bubbles that "freeze" when the lava solidifies.

I'm getting tired of this crap. Lol. If you want to know more, let me know and I'll teach you, or just ignore you. Either way.

Uh. I need to plan my birthday party. Lol. Yesterday Johnny had mentioned how nobody plays board games anymore, or something like that. So we're playing board games at my party. HAHA! Suckas! People need to take plenty of pictures because I realize that I need more. More recent ones anyway. Actually the time around my birthday could be very busy. Possible house-sitting, Nelli's wedding, and camping. WOOHOO! And then starting the fall semester! WOOHOO! My last one at ARC! WOOHOO!!!! Okay that's enough woohoos.

I really can't wait to go camping though. It's been a long time since we've camped Lassen-side. Home away from home. There have been a few day trips that I've had to miss out on because of work. One of my goals is to eat one s'more every night. There's always one or two or three nights that we don't but NOT THIS TIME! Ahahahaha. We're going during the Perseid's meteor shower, no coincidence. My mom is forcing me to stay up with her one night. As long as I don't go on a long hike that day or plan on one the next day, I should be fine.

Okay. That's it. I can't use up all my material in one blog. Hopefully I will blog tomorrow.

Good night.
