vinter-stjarna

The last couple weeks have been quite eventful! It now seems that I will be camping out for 8 weeks in order to work on an archaeological field project during this summer. The site contains evidence of the first people to move through North America, radiocarbon dated to about 11,000 years ago. Then in the fall I have the opportunity to work with my professor and other students, analyzing human remains from around the world for ongoing research projects in bioarchaeology. The site of the summer project looks quite nice and I will have my camera, so I hope to be able to take at least a few quality shots to share here. :aww:

Happy first day of spring to everyone! It is still awfully cold here, but the sunshine is improving my spirits. I am trying to take advantage of this good mood to draw as much as I can.. which is not much, but better than nothing. I am so out of practice, so I will only post what I think is somewhat acceptable xD Maybe this will help to distract me from hunger pains as I finally begin the process of losing my winter coat. Got to get in shape again for a summer of hiking and kayaking! :) I bless the rains down in Africaaaa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdBcfRhzzAA

Midterms are finally done with and I get a little break before the official holiday, which begins next weekend. However, in times such as this when I am lacking in academic obligations, my life begins to feel like it has no purpose (pathetic, right? 8D). And so I become restless in a way.. and the terrible nightmares night after night are not helping to normalize the situation haha Anyway, the weather is still rather bad where I live so photographs are probably out of the question, but I need some artistic outlet before I snap. So I might have to draw or paint soon, and perhaps post it here if I deem it worthy enough to subject you all to :lo
