2.2.22

Guys, gals and all followers of my academic and general journey since summer of 2019. From today this blog is technically no longer a study blog, because I did it. I graduated (class of 2020 but due to covid officially in 2022)! I started this blog after coming a click away from dropping out after my second year but being convinced otherwise. I started it as a way of documenting my progress , keeping myself accountable, keeping myself excited about academia and being able to put it all behind me if I hung on a little longer. I have cried SOOOO much in the past year in the past three years.

This has been a safe space. It’s held deep thoughts and many feelings that I won’t be deleting but continuing to document as I figure out what else life has in store just like I have been doing even after I finished in 2020.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. I hope you’ll stick around.

Feel so spread thin at work but this outfit was giving me the energy I needed. Plus my recent Vinted finds

I’m interested in knowing what you guys are up to!!

As I enter the final term of my masters degree and begin writing my dissertation, I’m also starting to think about what my life will look like in the next couple years after graduation, and what/where I want to start planning and applying to for future experiences. Would love to hear about what you guys are up to, whether that’s in the realm of anthro/archaeology or something completely different!

Share with me your stress, accomplishments, uncertainties, and plans! Take this time to brag about what you’ve been doing, because we all deserve to feel good about our accomplishments!

Feel free to share, comment, or dm!

What I’ve been up to lately:

I’m in the last term of classes for my MSc in Archaeological Information Systems, will start writing my dissertation very soon/have done a bit of research for it. Currently waiting on news from Fulbright about doing research in Cambodia for the 2019-2020 year on the site that I’m currently researching. Will be co-directing a project in Cambodia this Spring. Planning on doing a Phd, will depend on how the Fulbright turns out/ where that leads. Currently learning Japanese in hopes of living in Japan for a couple years in the future. Would love to make this relevant to what I’m doing in Digital Archaeology if I can.

Big plans & exciting things coming up!

I finally finished the corset! Pictures to follow when I buy the lacings.
