Holy Cow Batman

This semester is almost over. Wow. My first few months of graduate school was certainly a roller coaster and an adjustment. Here's to a better Fall 2006.

I applied for a number of summer archaeology jobs. Three agencies have responded saying they have all the seasonal work they need ... as of now. That's the trouble with archaeology - it's all so hit and miss. Sometimes a big contract will come through in the middle of the summer and then they will need all kinds of help. If nothing comes through now I hope I can get in on some of that action. Otherwise, I might be working for some party carnival service here in Wichita. A fellow anthro. student, Jerry, told me his relative runs one of those and they usually need more help in the summer. Ooooh, I could be a carnie. How glamorous.

This week finds me busy putting the finishing touches on the Southwest Art exhibit for my Museum Exhibition class. It seems like there are so many details to tend to yet, but I'm sure it will come together. I just got one of my maps back from the printer today and I'm not totally happy with it. The map title is not as readable as it could be. We don't have the budget to reprint anything so I guess I will just have to deal with it. Maybe I will pretend I didn't make that map (tee hee). The opening is May 8 and anyone who's around then is more than welcome to come. I imagine there will be free food.

Tomorrow night, I am going to a drag queen show with India (an anthro. student) and possibly Javers if I can convince him it will be good times and he won't be too uncomfortable. I've never been and am really looking foward to it. Crazy.
