The Evening Tutorials

Arrived back around half past four. Just time to write up some notes, eat dinner at 6:00pm and rush off to the lab debriefing at 7:00pm. 8:00pm and we were rushing to our chosen tutorials. You get two or three to choose from each evening. They range from sedimentary processes, structural analysis and hand specimens or phase diagrams to historical geology and exam techniques.

This evening I had chosen Historical Geology as I felt confused and unclear. Rushing to the lecture room I had this strange dream-like sensation. Well, I guess I was quite tired. I had the feeling that I was always running to catch up but never quite reaching my destination. Each session finishes promptly, whether you have done all you intended to or not. Still, Historical Geology as whizzed through by Jane was brilliant. If the other tutorials are as good, the rest of the course will be fine. Summer school really seems to put everything you have been studying into perspective.

Fell into bed later to sleep the sleep of the exhausted Summer School student.
