Dinosaurs Rules!

Well they technically were only powerful during the Mesozoic era. That doesn't change the fact that I love them. I love them with my whole heart.

There are moments in my geology class when I wonder what on earth am I doing there. It's really hard a lot of times, and I am constantly studying to ensure that I get the grade I want.

But the pain is worth it now because I am currently studying about dinosaurs, doing a lot of dinosaur related labs, and watching a lot of dinosaur documentaries. I get depressed watching the videos because nature can be so cruel. It was a dinosaur eat dinosaur world, and my heart can't bare to watch it.

I love how our labs involves dunking plastic dinosaur models into water to find out its volume, and measuring their legs to figure how the speed they walked. They aren't just any kind of models either. They are actually made to scale (1/42 scale), so the models even weigh as much as they did in real life. I feel smart whenever I play with them.

As I keep learning about these adorable animals, I keep thinking about how great it would be to ride them or how awesome it would be to actually have one in my backyard. I'm not even sure elephants would be my favorite animal if dinosaurs existed today.

If I had to be eaten by an animal, I think I would want to be eaten by a dinosaur. They are so amazingly beautiful, and I would give up an arm just to see them today. (I take that back, I love elephants with my whole heart too.)

My only option now is to visit their fossils at the Natural History Museum. I guess that's as good as it's going to get.
