Research Opportunity

The past week I recieved an opportunity that unfolded itself to me. Originally, I was going to a Field School in Spain to earn academic credit. I was recommended by several professors to recieve a research grant to help cover the cost of the program provided that I come up with a research topic. I went through this advice and spoke to the directors of the program and they were very willing to help me with my work. Instead of 20 days doing field work, I will spend 40 days in Spain in the summer for research...I am surprised and happy to not take advantage of the situation.

To those who are unfamiliar what Field School is, a Field School is a prepatory trainning course for students who are in the Archaeology major. It's where future Archaeologists learn the basics of excavation techniques, record keeping, digs, lab work, etc. It is a professionally scientific field even though we are lumped together with Liberal Arts...sad I know...

I have been busy this whole semester in helping out with the International Banquet coming up. I am re-working on my national costume and hope that it will be the best I ever made because there is going to be a little addition to my work but it won't be revealed until the day of the Banquet. I am also swamped with work especially in course work. I am doing well so far in most of my classes but this one particular class I have a slight trouble keeping up. I'll do my best but I expect to get a B from this class..even though my assignments will be handed very late... :(
