I'm enjoying this Evolution course so darn much. Did I make a mistake choosing geology? Should I have gone for biology after all?
...and if I had, would I even now be going 'I hate cell biology and biochemistry so darn much, I should have chosen geology'?
It's becoming clear to me that however much I'm interested in the processes of hard rock (mmm, volcanoes, mmm, continental drift) what I actually love is the geological puzzle of putting together places and critters and evolution.
Sigh. I haven't looked, but palaeontology has got to be the most oversubscribed discipline in the history of ever, right?
(ETA: so I've updated my future study plan to swap Understanding the Continents (aka Hard Rock) for Oceanography (which doesn't have a nickname but is apparently fearsome in its multidisciplinary nature). Given the different end dates, this was more complicated than you might think. But whereas I had begun to dread Hard Rock, I'm now really looking forwards to a bunch of cool environmental and biological stuff!)
