Greetings, and welcome to my first Blog (or at least, my first blog pertaining to school). I am Alex Galbo, your average student who goes to CCHS and fends himself from the stresses of school work. I enjoy reading fictional books and drawing, in which I dream of someday becoming a writer, or a graphic novelist, or maybe even both!

I've decided to partake in Geology because I am very interested in learning more about the planet we live on, as well as the universe our planet and solar system exist in. I would be very interested to learn about the origins of many or the world's most interesting geological areas, such as the Reed Flute Cave, the White Desert, and the The Devils Tower. Out of these places, one particular place I would be very interested to see is Fingal’s Cave in Scotland; a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa. The cave was formed entirely from hexagonally jointed basalt columns within a Paleocene lava flow, similar in structure to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
