Since May, when I last updated, I have been working in an archaeology lab and having that hands on experience has really made a difference in my understanding of how to go about things. I never had done real lab work and it is a lot cataloging, analyzing, and data collection. Here's a link to "A Day of Archaeology" in which I participated in ---> http://www.dayofarchaeology.com/archaeologist-in-training/. I went in there knowing nothing that I was expected to do and now I feel prepared for whatever the world has to throw at me (in Midwestern archaeology that is). I have made even more connections because I was able to do a small dig in our local courthouse. My boss, Cheryl Munson, has really shaped how I will study and practice archaeology in the best way possible.
Onto future things...
This Monday will be my last first day of my undergraduate career and like usual I am terrified. With only 24 credits separating me from a degree. It is also the last semester that I will have an archaeology class (with my ex that last time I mentioned him was still my boyfriend). So that should be fun. For now all I want to do is survive and make it to where I need to be.
Which is still TBA.
