Over the past couple days I've been doing a little internet research on archaeology graduate programs, as well as archaeology in general, to try to figure out if it's a career I really want to pursue. Today in my search I went to the website of the anthropology department at Peace College, the school where I spent two and a half of my undergrad

im happy you found something to be excited about! im still excited about publishing, and was wondering what schools you had looked at for that masters? the only interesting program ive found is emerson.

[emotionalwench]

I was definitely looking at Emerson too. George Washington University in Washington DC has a publishing program too -- but GWU is also the most expensive school in the nation (I'm not exaggerating).

I was mainly hoping to go to school in the United Kingdom; London has several universities that offer publishing programs, and there's on in Oxford too (although it's not offered by Oxford University, but by a smaller college called Oxford Brookes).

What kind of publishing are you interested in doing?

[girlcameralife]

ugh ill probably stay away from gwu then... money's a pretty big issue.

honestly... i have no idea! i was researching MFAs when i found emerson's publishing degree and kinda fell for it. i just love reading... and correcting, haha! i think i have a good background - with a graphic design degree, then creative writing... i think id be fairly well-rounded, yet focused enough where both could help me with book design/editing/shaping a writer... do you have more info on this you'd like to share with me? i JUST started looking into publishing stuff.

Thanks, I agree. :) I hope my inquiries will actually lead to something. Oh, and I love your icon! Frida FTW!

how exciting, that is what i would have done in another life...i started an anthro masters..

[emotionalwench]

Oh yeah? I never knew that about you! What kind of anthropology were you interested in getting into?

[lizardjee]

i was starting the anthro of women/birth, i made it 3 courses in when my ex started using and lost her job and disrupted my entire life.. :(

[emotionalwench]

Oh, jeez. That is just awful. :( I'm sorry, Jerri. Thank God you're with Jeani now. I know that now that you have Jaxen it will be harder to go back to school, but have you ever given it any thought?

That's so cool! I have thought about getting back into archeology. I almost got a minor in it when I was in undergrad but I didn't want to stay into summer to finish up two courses. I have often thought about getting back into it and reading that email you got gives me a little encouragement too. It is nice to know that English/creative writing can be a nice background for archeology. Good luck in whatever you decide to journey into. :)

[emotionalwench]

Wow, if my LJ post gives you even partial encouragement to get back into archaeology, that's awesome! Good luck to you as well. Maybe someday you and I will be competing to see who can find the most awesome finds on our digs. XD

Just out of curiosity, what was your major in college?

[backupdancer]

English, American Lit concentration.

[heartpause]

Awww yay for the future :):) how exciting!

[emotionalwench]

Thanks! :D I hope it works out well...
