Editing and the worst movie

Today we learned how to use Microsoft Word to edit a paper. We are going to look at someone's paper who is in the other class and use the proofing tools in word to edit their paper. I had never even used that tab before, but now I know what to do and how to use those tools. I am a little confused about the symbols on the paper we were given for proofreading because don't know what some of them mean.

The worst movie ever is the New World. It's a really boring movie, historically inaccurate, and it's mostly john smith watching pocahontas walk around in the woods.

Writing a Paragraph

Hydrothermal dolomite is generally interpreted to
have formed as a result of hot fluids related to hydrothermal
activity and/or burial alteration of limestones.
Many of these dolomites are known to host major
reserves of hydrocarbons, and many are also associated
with Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) Pb-Zn ore
deposits (Machel and Mountjoy, 1986; Leach and
Sangster, 1993). The Devonian and Mississippian
carbonates of Western Canada Sedimentary Basin yield
ca. 47% of the Basin's marketable gas reserves and ca.
69% of recoverable oil reserves. In these carbonates,
dolomitization, and in particular hydrothermal dolomitization,
plays a major role in the evolution of reservoir
porosity.

Geo web page

Today I created my own web page on the geology department site. I learned how to upload pictures, papers, and make them private or public. I liked how we got to learn the different ways to attach documents as a pdf or html.

I was a little frustrated because I forgot my password (every class I have makes us create like 3 new emails and blogs) and then I was behind in the lecture because I couldn't get onto my profile.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist and swim with dolphins. I guess I'm kinda close, being a science major, but I missed the boat into biology.

Web site and Food

Today we learned how to create our website on the geology home page at BYU. It is nice because I can save stuff I need on that page and see other's pages as well if they have useful information and cool picture from geology trips.

My favorite food is mashed potatoes and gravy. We always have them with our roast for holidays so the gravy is flavored with water from the roast and it is the best thing I have ever tasted :)

Scientific paper and superhero

Today I learned how to write a scientific paper and how it is different from a normal term paper that I have usually written. It includes an abstract, an introduction, a method section, a result section, a discussion section, and a conclusion section. We had a chance to create an abstract for a fairy tale.

If I had a superhero power, I would be able to fly so I could get everywhere I needed to easily and more fun.

My color

If I were a color I would be emerald green because that is my favorite color.

Writing Proposals, dream vacation

Writing proposals is a very important topic to understand in order to aquire funds needed to continue your education or get into a workshop to increase your experience or whatever you need to ask someone for. It was useful to have it explained to me instead of having to figure it out on my own when I needed to write a proposal. Hopefully this assignment will help me to be able to write a better proposal when I find the need to.

My dream vacation is a trip to Ireland where I would sit outside and paint the beautiful landscape. I will probably never go to Ireland, and if I did I wouldn't be able to paint very well.
