About Me

What can I say about me? I got married on Sept 2nd of 2006, and graduated from UIC with a degree in Anthropology the month before. In late 2006 and early 2007, I held a term position in the Anthropology Department at The Field Museum, where I helped install a new permanent exhibit dealing with pre-Columbian cultures in North and South America; that opened March 9th. On June 4th I started in The Field Museum's library as a circulation's assistant. I just started grad school at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for a masters in library and information sciences, shortly after returning from spending three weeks in Peru - check out blogging and pics at http://yeahdogblog.blogspot.com/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/yeahdog/ I am in a state of constant change right now, but it's all for the good.
