| My name is Joel.� I am attending Midwestern State University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Geology and will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in English in May 2005. Midwestern is located in the buckle of the "Bible Belt".� This town of 100,000 is probably the most red-neck town one could ever hope to never see.� Thankfully, I will be moving on in the foreseeable future to attend graduate school.� I an hoping to eventually attend the University of Arizona in Tucson. |

| I have, however, enjoyed studying under the professors in my department at Midwestern.� They have made the experience more valuable.� The two faculty members are Dr. Jack Watkins and Dr. John Kocurko.� But it was in Dr. Pamela Stephens' Historical Geology that this whole journey began, and I thank her for making that first class catch my attention. Through their guidance I have become fascinated in geology and in particular the field of planetary science.� Throughout my time here we have done some interesting fieldwork to supplement class work. | ||||||||||||

| This is Dr. Kocurko and myself taking sample at Sikes Lake.� We were doing this to show the need to rejuvenate the lake.� In this picture we are standing in about 2� feet of mud and only 2 feet of water.� The clothes I am wearing in the picture got thrown in the trash, due to the stench that was left on them.� The GES (Geology and Environmental Science Club) also takes camping fieldtrips.� The next one is scheduled to be going to the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma. | ||||||||||||
