: June 6 --Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

So Friday I went in to work for a full 40hrs on my paycheck this week. I was exposed to more things that the others I work with do on a regular basis. I helped mark footage's of the core that many places have been drilling out. I was then instructed on how to take pictures of the core for other records. AND then I was shown how to break up the core, bag it in bags according to a certain order and then I bagged up all 600 some feet up in a bunch of bags and tied off with zip ties, so they could be put into a bin, and sent on its way to the assay lab so they could break it down more and determine what kind of rocks they are dealing with and where the GOLD is in those rocks. Definitely a great experience. I loved how much I got to look at the rock and recognize things I have learned in past classes from school.
Then I was summoned to sit at a computer for the rest of the day, 4 hours or so, to change the names of the pictures that they took of the core footage. THAT was something, let me tell you. I learned myself how to type numbers in pretty fast with my left hand because my right dominant had was tired. OH GEE.

What a day, what a weeek.

June 2, 2010: Missing you like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter

Wow, so it sure has been a long time since I have been on here. A lot has happened to me worth spitting out on this wall of a blog thing.

I have been working out at the Gold mine here in Northern Nevada for three weeks now. Crazy how time surely flies, But it has been good. I work in the Geology Warehouse where they receive, prepare, distribute, and then store the rock core samples. I get to play with rocks, rock flour, and interact with all the geologists that come into the building to map and log the core samples. :D without even getting the internship. So it's a pretty awesome job I have here.

BUT more to come...
I promised my niece that I would go play Frisbee with her a few min ago, so I better run. I will be back though I promise!!
