Since we last posted we have kept busy with our classes and assignments and labs. We have completed some mid-term exams but unfortunately due to the weather we have had no field trips. We are half way through the term at this point and Spring is on its way...meaning spring break. We will be spending our spring break on a field trip to New Mexico/Colorado/Utah/Idaho to the Rio Grande Rift looking at modern aeolian deposits, volcanics, tectonic structures and sedimentary structures such as fluvial, fan deltas, conglomerates and maybe even some ash!
We are looking forward to our first St. Patrick's day in Missoula. There is a good Irish community here, so there will be a lot to do such as the parade on Sunday, 5km charity run, Ceili and Irish festivities in an Irish pub in town. Some members of the Irish department here in UM will hold a "puc fada" (long puck) competition. This is a traditional Irish event were people hit the sliotar (ball) as far as they can using a hurley (wooden stick)...
Until the next time - Happy Paddy's day
