 I think people don't
think of it as a major,
especially with Earth Science.
It's a really large topic.
You've got weather.
You've got rocks.
You've got-- and here, our
Earth Science department
is mixed with GIS and
geography and human geography.
So it's all different sub-sects.
[LAUGHS] It's a lot
of things I like.
I really enjoy the
classes that I take.
I'm really enjoying-- I just
really like the material
that I learn.
All the people are super great--
professors,
students, classmates.
I think the biggest thing
that I enjoy about it
and I wasn't expecting
coming in was
how personable everybody
in the department is.
When I learn, I like to
talk to people about it.
And I ask a lot of questions.
So, like, the fact that
it's smaller classes
allows me to ask a
lot of questions.
Like I found an article, a
really cool little article
the other day.
I was able to go to one of my
professors and be like, hey,
have you read this before?
Have you heard this?
And they were like,
oh, that's really neat.
And we had a little
discussion about it.
So it was nice.
A good portion of them,
they'll try and take
you out of Salisbury to see
stuff that you necessarily
wouldn't here because it's the
Earth is different everywhere,
which I think is kind of cool.
Like in Geomorphology, we
went on a camping field
trip for a weekend.
And they took us up through
Pennsylvania and into New York
to see all the formations.
There is an Oceans
and Coast class,
and we're right on the ocean.
[LAUGHS] So I know that-- and
it talks about island barriers,
and Ocean City is
an island barrier.
And I know that they look
at all of this stuff that's
very close because it's here.
It gives you a little bit
more of a hands-on approach.
And it's more of a like--
you've got to be involved.
[LAUGHS]
Next after I graduate,
I'm planning on probably
going to grad school.
The Earth science
field is very small.
You all kind of know each other.
And I just talk to
some of my teachers,
and they're telling me like,
oh, I know some people here,
maybe if I talk to them I can
see if that's a program you'd
be interested in.
I haven't necessarily gotten
that far yet, but I'm starting.
[LAUGHS] I'm in the
beginning stages.
