#uuuugh i desperately want to take a geology course#and aquire paleontology friends#and be a paleontologist. i mean i wanna be an astrobiologist with Microbiology. ecology. evolutionary biology. geology. and paleontology#influences. also biochemistry. and that's all vaid bc astrobiology is intersectional. i can get there however i want#and what i want is to look at the evolution of biochemistry in cyanobacteria but finding someone who does something that specific is hard#but like learning abt paleontology has broken my brain a bit. like maybe its just bc im in the desert and u can see the exposed ground but#like i look at the landscape and see the volcanic rock and uplifted areas snd everything and its just like#holy fuck we are walking around on 4billion years worth of history and i wanna kno how all those processes work#in terms of making the landscape how it is#and i got to see some fucking wild trace fossils the other day and i was so fucking excited to see them#and when i go home to visit i think we're gonna see a pretty good natural history museum#bc my parents were like: what do u wanna do while ur home? and i was like well u see i am v into paleontology atm#and im v excited to go with them bc idk they kno what kinda freak i am and that always makes things easier#also they would prob read the info on the exibits if i asked bc i cant fucking read lol#and my mum is v into rock collecting rn so that is an excuse for me to learn abt geology stuff#hhhhh there is just so much cool stuff to learn#and everyday i have to sit there and do my lab work on a topic that i have greatly diverged away from#like my boss was like: im so excited. when we publish all this data u will be the name ppl think of when they think of carbon cycling in X#system! which is true. its a narrow field and ive generated lots of data#and what do i feel abt all that data? absolutely fuck all. its like ive maliciously collected a bunch of little gems and then im gonna#uncarimonially dump them on the floor for a tiny collection of ppl and then walk the fuck out the door#idk its probably just me being passive aggressive bc collecting the data has/is casuing me such physical and mental strain#but god if i could take a paleontology class rn id be so fucking annoying abt it. to b fair id also be the same abt a Microbiology class#sigh... maybe within the next year#unrelated#lmao im extremely annoying abt paleontology now and i havent even taken a class#at every chance im just like: well u kno... *insert fact here*#and i feel so obnoxious but i can't stop so i guess its just a hazard of being around me haha
