Warms the Heart

I just got an email from a friend asking me about my Chinese classes. He was just dropping me a line. Apparently he applied to UC Santa Barbara, UC Berkeley and Sonoma State. He said that he too was going to major in geography. Warms the heart.

He was writing me from a Mexican town called Los Mochis, where he and his girlfriend were waiting for a train to Chihuahua. She was planning on going to Guatemala and flying home for Christmas. Meanwhile he was planning on continuing for several months. He says that he wants to get a job at a perma-culture in Ecuador or work street kids, orphans, and juvenile delinquents in Quito.

This is series is a retrospective of my life taken from emails that I sent or received on the First of the Month.

Marine Geography

I wrote a lot in my notebook about how dunes grow and erode because I had just visited the Lanphere dunes for my Marine Geography class. We had to learn about the lithosphere and how the ocean fits in with it. In one of my other classes I had to watch a video on teaching children. We also spent a lot of time diagramming sentences.

This Notebook Analysis is part of retrospective of my life taken from emails that I sent or received on the First of the Month.
