had to take 2 geology classes from my petroleum engineering class. made the highest score on one test because it was so ez didnt go to class failed everything else. geology is boring and easy. your probably too dumb for real SCIENCE. have fun using 6 different sifters and sifting all day faggot

I think Geology was the most fun science class I've taken so far. I have no interest in actually being a geologist, but getting to go out into the field is something I'll still remember after my studies are over, whereas I probably won't so much retain the memory of swinging a pendulum in the physics lab.
