West on the interstate: every American's dream vacation in the summer. For my family and especially myself, it was a trip from the tame flat lands of Texas to the wild, untamed landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.
Geology: a class that I was preparing for next fall. Normally not something to celebrate and drool over, even though the subject was going to be part of a schedule that only included math and science classes. Which means good things for me. Little did I know that I was going to be plunged into a landscape dominated by rocks; I was going to get a head start. Well that's boring, no one wants to think about studying until the semester starts. Do you? I thought so. But this wasn't studying.
This was engaging in something larger than myself.
This was making the most out of an all-expense paid trip to some of the greatest natural wonders in America.
This was standing in wonder at one part of an amazing planet we all live in.
This was grandeur.
