I had my first AS level exam today which was psychology. I take four subjects, all of which require me to lug round what you see in this picture every single day! needless to say, I have biceps of steel, and a hunchback.
My exam went good, somehow I managed to integrate an old lady robbing a bank into my essay on reconstructive memory, but i'm sure it will work out just peachy :)

You know what I would love to see? I have this fantasy in my head of being in an exam room sitting a really rock-hard exam, and someone starts tapping their pen against the desk. Then someone else joins in. Then someone starts humming the intro to Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure" and then someone else joins in the harmony. And then someone just stands up and starts singing, and then everyone else joins in and we all sing the song a'cappella together. Just like this!That would make my whole life!

The pressure is going on and we're in for a few warm sunny days. The station says we will get rain, which might be the case down the road.
Yes, this modelling caper is all very stressful so one has to sit down and relax every now and then!
This was taken at Lake O'hara in Yoho National Park in Canada. This was another (probably the best) example of road trip luck. We went to Banff on a whim, only because we were visiting my friend's aunt in Victoria. She said, "You two should go to Banff." I'm like..what's Banff? So we go, and basically it becomes the high light of our trip. Well anyway, we get to Banff and go to the gift shop and start browsing hiking trails and such. We see this place called Lake O'Hara and think man, this place looks cool. So Eric calls the office to book a reservation at the campsite and they're like, "Oh, I'm sorry. This place is so coveted that we only open up reservations six months in advance, and they get booked in about ten minutes....but...someone canceled last night, so we have an opening. We were excited, but we had no idea just how insanely amazing it was going to be...

The geology of Svalbard is complicated but the gist of this fascinating mountainous island archipelago goes something like this. Over geological time periods, eons, sand, mud, biological materials deposited layer upon layer somewhere around the now Caribbean Ocean, many fossils species found in the sedimentary rocks of Svalbard correspond to this. Svalbard is found at the margins of two migrating tectonic plates, the North American and Eurasian and over time the sedimentary rock layers, still being formed under shallow seas, migrated to the northeast to close to where Svalbard is today. Only after a two-stage uplift, magmatic underplating, and mantle thermal anomalies did the islands of Svalbard appear from under the waves to form the massively folded mountainous archipelago we see today. Magmatic intrusions and the immense pressure of the upheaval known as the "Tertiary Upfolding" have altered some of the rocks to form sills and dykes and metamorphic deposits. Add to this the immense glaciation that has happened throughout the ice ages and as part of Svalbard's current geological activity and the rugged, fjord intersected landscape can now be understood. Here at Fjortende Julibukta is beautiful evidence of the torrid evolution of these island.

Since this photo was taken in May, several storms have lashed Sunset Beach. The rapid wave erosion bites within a metre and a half of the actual building, the dunes and art fence have gone as is the gate and fence seen middle and right. All of the lower carpark has now gone and the upper car park has has been fenced off to the corner of the community hall, upper RH, its size reduced by a third, following last weekend's storm.
The surf tower has yet again to be moved to a more secure site within a few days...unless this weekend's westerly storm has managed to erode more.
For more visual information see other images of the shifting position of the surf tower and erosion in this album.
