Beginning of Summer
I haven't posted in awhile because relatively little has occurred. But now I've graduated, with a car and enough money that I can travel around, as well as an awesome job that leads up to grad school. Rather than migraines or stressful deadlines, I now only have to worry about which weekends are best to visit friends, the cheapest place to buy stuff, and the least offensive way to break a $100 bill. My biggest long-term task has shifted from big papers to finding the best place for wireless (great laptop, though with Vista) and coffee.
At George Washington's Ferry Farm , I'm working as a long-term field intern. It's hot work, all day, and not always easy. Whether it's the dehydration or the realizing I'm getting paid to do archaeology, every now and then I get giddy. I've worked there before, so I remember how awesome the gig and my bosses are. A friend that was there 3 years ago is back and other folks there are fun, too.
A large group of my family is meeting for the 4th of July, to celebrate my grandad's 90th birthday. I'm seeing lots of them for the first time in years-- one cousin graduates on Saturday. My oldest members aren't doing terribly well, which would be depressing if they let their health affect them. I'm trying to follow their example.
With any luck, I'll be getting a little funding to go to the University of West Florida to get a Master's in Historical Archaeology. Word on the street is that a meeting will be on Friday. Life is good.
