The other day one of my professors was talking about sea floor spreading. He said that he remembered when the National Geographic came out with maps showing the mid-oceanic ridges and he would spend hours pouring over them.
When he told us this I was like "Woah, I never did that." Then as I thought about it more I remembered being fascinated by a picture of a sabertooth cat that we had. On one side of the semi transparent paper was a furred artists renditions and on the other side was the cats skeleton. I remember thinking it was super cool.
Now I would love to be a paleontologist.
I also have a whole collection of rocks and semi precious stones from my childhood.
Now I'm studying geology.
When I was little I also had a set of children's books I wrote and illustrated.
I still like to write and do art n occasion.
I remember playing outside for long hours or indoors with legos pretending I had to survive and figuring out how best to do so, basically the beginnings of experimental archaeology.
It is just kind of surprising how many things I liked when I was a kid I still am interested in and am pursuing.
It makes me wonder what things my nieces and nephews do now that they will someday look back at and say "I can't believe I've always done that."
