A few months ago, I was ploughing aimlessly through my life, not knowing where to go, what career path to take and what job to apply to next. Things would have carried on this way if my mother hadn't asked me a question while walking along the sea wall at Dawlish one day in early spring 2008 (which will continue to be the best question she ever asked me in my life!). She asked me the question "what would you do if money wasn't an issue" to which I replied without having to think about it "I would go back to uni and study an MA in forensic archaeology", my mum then replied with "well then, you look into it and I will do as much as I can to get you there"...
Many months followed...of searching for courses, applying to universities, waiting eagerly to hear back, and finally to packing up my life as I knew it and leaving for the unknown!
I got accepted into Southampton University to study an MA in Osteoarchaeology and I started two and a half months ago. This still, even now, perplexes me as to how I am actually here. I still continue to doubt my intellectual level, but I managed to survive my first term, so I must be doing something right!
So now…onto the blog…
Osteoarchaeology is basically the archaeology of human and animal remains. And wow, what a fascinating subject it is…even after a few months of studying it, it truly is amazing. Through this blog I shall post information, facts and my thoughts and feelings on the subject.
I hope to be able to inspire others and get people as passionate as I am on this subject. And I do firmly believe, that if you work hard and keep positive…the dreams you have will come true!
