Hi there and welcome to geology 101.
This is your  very very first lecture in class and I think you're going to like it.
Today, we're going to be talking about the science of geology.
Right now, before we start
I'm in a nice comfortable situation
in my daughter's room, everyone else is in the rest of the house
doing chores and what have you,
whereas I get to sit here and record geology lectures...it's pretty fun actually.
Many of you are probably at a coffee house
or you've waiting for the children to go to bed at night
and you've got your earphones on
 and you're just trying to get it in as soon as you can .
Congratulations! We're all kind of in this boat together
and we're all doing this in a nontraditional way
which is what this online class is all about.
So, with that said, let's go ahead and start talking about geology
Which is why you took the class in the first place, right?
