Thank you, thank you, thank you! This makes me insane!

(The other one I vaguely remember was that some character in Armageddon had a double major in Geology and something. We have a Geology department?!)

Actually we do. I majored in geology. Well, technically I focused in geoscience for a degree in Earth, Atmosphere, and Planetary Science, but for all intents and purposes I'm a geology major...not that I actually use it. :-D

Lol. See, I'd still have said that was an EAPS degree (at least, I wouldn't run around telling people I was a double major in physics and geology), but maybe that's because I wasn't in that department?

[vampiretheatre]

Well I tell the MIT kids I'm course 12, but I tell everyone else I majored in geology. If I say earth, atmosphere blah blah blah or even geoscience they get confused and ask what it is. Geology they understand. And besides, I did study rocks, or at least pretended to.

Yay, I'm glad I'm not the only one! :)
