So I thought a lot about what I could put in our box to represent this whole semester. Much of this involved me actually just scrounging through my room to see what I actually had that I could give. I finally landed at a small piece of blueschist from my rock collection. First of all, it's very small and will definitely fit in the box, leaving much space for everyone else's things. Secondly, despite its small size, it represents a really pretty incredible geologic story that feels metaphorical for this class. Blueschist is actually somewhat rare to find exposed at the surface of the Earth - it is a pretty special rock (to me at least), just as this class has really held a special place for me this semester, and surely far beyond this semester.

Teacher Reform

This was my guide for our teach-in guided walk. Obviously, 15 minutes was not enough time to dwell in silence and cover all of this, so I removed a lot of these readings and a few plants on the walk (would've also liked to have passed the readings around for everyone to read out loud, too).
