Geology Word of the Week: On Hold for a Few Weeks

Geology Word of the Week, Schist 1 Minutes

So, I was hoping to post the Geology Word of the Week before flying back to South Africa in a few hours. However, I’ve been busy with work and also with a few last-minute wedding preparations (my wedding is in 12 days! Eek!). Now, the hour approaches 2am, and I need to finish packing… I hope the wedding favors and table placards survive the long trip. Worst case scenario, we’ll have some slightly-squashed wedding decor and a good story.

Anyway, this week we’re at the letter S in our geology alphabet, and I’ve selected the word schist! One of my favorite geology words! In fact, schist is such a fantastic word that I don’t want to write up a rushed post. So, I’m going to put the Geology Word of the Week on hold for a few weeks until after my wedding and the associated chaos of friends and family traveling to South Africa for the occasion. You can expect a return of the Geology Word of the Week in early November. In the meantime, I may sneak in a picture post or two.

By the way, I full expect many schist jokes and puns to be posted in the comments below.

  1. Oh, schist! First thing that came into my mind. 😉

    Take all the time you need. One o’ the biggest days of your life coming up soon – savor it! Don’t stress out about things like blogs. It’ll keep until you’re happily married.

    Have the time of your life!

  2. Yay for a gorgeous and stress-free wedding!

    Take a deep breath, and don’t worry. Something will go wrong – it always does – but hopefully it will be as minor as a white wine glass spilling or the guests bursting out laughing at the wrong spot. And when that happens, you can relax – it’ll all be cool from there on.

    This whole “getting married” thing is just too much for me – I refuse to do it ever again.

  5. Best wishes for a joyful celebration of the joining of two lives in public commitment! Take a deep breath and remember that it is a celebration when things start stressing you out.
    Now for the bad pun – From one of my geology classes at college, TOO many years ago – “Some geologists are Gneiss…but too many of them are full of Schist”
