spent the day in class

Today I attended day one of a Short Course sponsored by CODES : Thermodynamic Modelling Workshop

The course was primarily aimed at modeling for hydrothermal alteration in ore deposit systems, and my project has *nothing* to do with ore deposits of any sort, but my project does focus on thermodynamic modeling of metamorphic rocks (working out what temperature and pressure could have been responsible for the growth of the minerals which are present in the rock based on their compostions), so I went in hopes of picking up a useful tidbit or two. Indeed there were ( a couple of interesting things )

However, despite finding useful stuff in today's class, after discussing it with the instructor, I shall not attend the second and third days (which are far more focused on the ore deposit stuff), but will stay home and work on my own project!
