i have been in Savannah, Ga for a little over two months now, and so far so good…. i have been working on an amazing historical cemetery site, ca. 1870’s-1910’s, with so much skeletal material to analyze i have my work cut out for me. none the less, i have learned so much in so little time, while still getting the opportunity to put all those years of school and learning to practice! and getting paid for it! that is really the silver lining in the whole thing, gives me a sense of purpose and accomplishment.. 🙂
some of you may be thinking what this may mean for my future endeavors, well, i have decided (for real this time) that i am postponing my return to school for the PhD. all things considered (economy, financial, personal issues), the very best thing for me right now is to stay were i am at the moment, get as much experience out of it, save money and finally start working on my life, not just school. after 4+ years of working towards academic achievement and a career, i think i deserve to give my MSc speak for itself, and to work on other aspects of my life, that so dearly need it. whether GA is a long-term stop for me or not, being on this side of the pond for a while, and employed, is the place for me to be right now.
as for London and my ‘family’ there, i miss them all greatly, and am sad at the thought of not returning this fall.. but i promise you all i will be visiting sometime soon, i’m not one to stay away for long… 😉
