(no subject)

Given that I was up at 6 this morning. I think that staying up all night trying to memorize this gibberish is not really a good idea. I'm going to bed. Tomorrow morning, I'll go through my history notes go to school, and jump into my last two finals of the semester. I'm going to be embarassed acting with notecards in my hands, but it sounds like I won't be the only one. Wish me luck.

Done with Spring 2013!

With that done, I'm all done (except for the section of a report I need to write up regarding the fieldwork I've been involved in) with my classes for this semester! I'm still feeling day-of-finals anxiety, but it's fading. Getting an A and some really positive comments on my Leary paper helps!

I have a *so* much stuff I'm looking forward to doing this Summer. An archaeological dig. Oral history interviewing. Reading some Foucault or other theory. (I get to read for *pleasure* now!) Looking for grad programs and trying to make contact with possible advisers. Working on Spanish. Working on the paper I might be presenting at the AAAs. There's a lot of stuff I want to write about too. Yeah, it's going to be busy. But it's going to be wonderful.

There's only a small part of me that's saddened by the way the structure may keep me from taking a couple weeks for a sleep-in-the-car-and shoot 10,000 photographs road trip to the Bay of Fundy or somewhere.

Looking ahead to next year

And I've now put my class schedule for the fall term on Google Calendar.

Environmental anthropology, African-American history, map use and analysis (part of the GIS certificate I want to get) and introductory geology (a gen. ed. course). There may also be three credits of fieldwork, and another exciting thing that I'm going to talk about here. It should be a good semester!
