almost complete, it took awhile to get all my information together. I added the St. Louis City data separately since it is considered its own “county”. How confusing is that? A St. Louis County, and a St. Louis City, which is basically its own county. Anyway, the data has now been added and joined to arc map. The problem was after I deleted it, I saved the document as a database, then I went back to reenter the city data, it wouldn’t save. So I had to save as a text document, then save as a database 4 document, while the text document was open. However it happened, the data is altogether, and joined into arcmap.

I made highway maps of both nevada and Georgia. Completely different, considering Georgia has many highways and Nevada has few. The differences between the two are neat. Both I started out with block census groups, which I left alone on the Nevada map, just changing the color. The Georgia map I changed to population changes within the BCGs. To add some more to the Nevada map, I added rivers, but the Georgia map was too cluttered for other features.
Field Trip!! October 3, 2007
So tomorrow we leave for Pennsylvania. So excited, field trips are the best part about being a geomajor! It will be a 6 hour drive there, 3 days of looking at rocks and a 6 hour drive back. If you are going to be spending a weekend doing work, what a way to do it!! I just wish my tentmate were coming, we will miss you Annie! Feel better soon!

Excel, not that hard to use, and I’ve used it before. But I can never seem to remember how to do the simplest tasks. Once I do them over again, I get the de ja vu feeling all over again, and so it goes, because honestly I use it just a couple times a year. This class will be good, since I will probably using Excel alot more, and maybe by the end of the semester I will actually understand the basics.
