I kinda wish my classes were on a more regular schedule but that's what I get for going out to a school overseas (argh). So they gave us our first assignment on the 29th of September and it's due tomorrow (actually today, but I can't sleep and I wanted to start a blog).
It seems that being an anthropology major set me back quite a little bit compared to everyone else who've studied archaeology. Whatever, I have no regrets... ND gave me a better education than most people here (well-rounded-wise). Even then I feel as if I know just as much archaeology as those who only studied archaeology. But whatever.
This past week we had our first practical lab project thing - digging a clandestine grave. Oh have I mentioned that I'm studying forensic archaeology? hence the name of the blog. but yeah the lesson I got out of the exercise is that I should not bury a dead body if I kill someone - there are better ways of disposing it. My muscles are still sore - this is what I get for not digging the past summer. Gosh darn it. But yeah I think I'm going to be in for an exciting year - constantly reading, practical exercises, fun, fun, fun... Still I'm pretty lonely out here.
I miss being in a dorm, having roommates, and the American college experience... Oh well, I'm older and wiser for it :)
