HOLY FUCKIN' CRAP!
I am flying (by myself for the first time!) to Spain in just two weeks.
And then I'll be gone for 23 days.
It's so crazy!!!!!!
I really can't wait to get to be on an archaeological dig, though.
I figure this will really help me decide if this is something that I want to do for the rest of my life or not.
If it is, I'm probably going to want to transfer to a school that will allow me to major in Archeology, cause frankly a lot of the cultural and linguistic anthropology stuff just really doesn't interest me.
I like learning about early hominids and ancient civilizations, and not so much about the interactions of men and women in society on an isolated island.
I like the mystery of discovering things about the past, and the awe that relics of long-gone peoples inspire.
If I don't like this dig so much, or if it seems like something I can't see myself doing for the rest of my life, I guess I'm gonna have to start looking at stuff involving animals, art, psychology, or labor/legal studies.
I'm thinking that at the beginning of next semester, I'll prolly try to make an appointment with some sort of academic counselor so that I can figure out exactly what it is that I'm interested in and can do well, cause sometimes those aren't the same thing.
But yeah, SPAIN IN TWO WEEKS!
Mediterranean, here I come!
