About Me

Just your typical fast-talking vegetarian archaeologist. Once you've met one, you've met them all.

In the process of finishing my MA, then I'm off to travel for a few years before returning to the treacherous world of graduate school. Or at least that is the plan. A plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it. A plan so cunning you could pop a tail on it and call it a weasel. In total, life is good right now...
