Would you believe...
That I forgot how to post on this? *sheepish face* Ooops. Here I am on my Spring Break, cursing my professors who decided that Spring Break would be a great time to write 2 papers and a 180-question midterm.
Why do I want to go to grad school again??
I am seriously excited about both my impending graduation and my impending (two weeks and a day away) 30th birthday. I'll be going here http://www.wvcabinretreat.com/ for a nice weekend away with friends and Charlie-dog. I will get to participate in my favorite activity- building campfires and then poking at them with sticks. I also hope to be watching my beloved Jayhawks win a few NCAA tournament games on their 32-inch flatscreen television.
Am furiously searching for jobs/paid internships in my field. So far I have some very good leads and some people interested in my work, so.... fingers crossed. It would be especially wonderful if I could get in with an organization that would pay for my graduate school courses. I will keep on dreaming.
At least in May you can tell all of your friends "oh, yes, my niece/cousin/daughter, she's an archaeologist." Next you must remind them that archaeologists do not dig up dinosaurs. We tend to dig up a whole lot of garbage. Think about that next time you take your trash out-- 100 years from now someone might stumble onto your Oil of Olay bottle and write a paper about the self-care habits of 21st Century American Women.
Anyhow- I went a little nuts with the graduation announcements (I'm just so gosh-darned proud), so do me a favor and email me with your address so that I don't have to bug my mom for it. my email address is aimeew and the provider is @gmail.com (i am writing it that way so that spam robots don't yoink my address)
I hope Spring is springing wherever all of you are. Love you all so very much. Maybe we can get together this Summer instead of me waiting until Christmas again, hmm? I hear someone's gonna have a baby in July/August.... I imagine I'll be in Kansas for the meeting of the niece/nephew, but I wouldn't mind seeing some of you either ;).
