I don't even know what my last few posts said or when I posted them... it was over a month ago? Less than? I don't know and I'm not going to look. ;-)
I've been busy and gone a lot. I'm not sure if I already blogged about my trip to Grand Teton National Park or not so I'll just give a quick recap. It was for a historic preservation field class and it was great. It was beautiful and I learned a lot. I really enjoy historic preservation, far more than my current work. As soon as I'm done with my history degree I'll start on a historic preservation degree. Provided the school ever lets me graduate. I'm now at 42 credits and counting... for a 30 credit program. (Long story.)
I had my 10 year high school reunion a few weeks ago. I survived. That was all I hoped for. About 1/3 of us showed up (10) and I was caught up with everyone in like 15 minutes. It's actually very gratifying that I wasn't the only one with little to no interest in seeing the rest of my classmates. Being home was a little odd... I have no desire to be there other than to see my family.
Last week I was in Cody for a Native American art history institute. I learned SOO much and had a couple of amazing teachers. I learned a lot about Native culture and art as well as about how a museum functions. I didn't like being there by myself though. I figured it would be like any other class or conference where everyone goes there as an individual and then meets people but instead people came in pairs and then did things as pairs and left me to be a lonely old spinster in the weird "old lady Bible camp" retreat we were staying at. I hate eating alone... Incidentally, I never want to eat fast food ever again!
Nothing else to report I guess... I'm done traveling for now (as far as I know) and just hanging out in town for the rest of the summer until school starts. I'm not sure what I'm taking. The history department seems to be ignoring all of my attempts to get my life together before classes actually start. I'm about to get angry and start haunting the history building again. If they are going to insist that I meet with my advisor before registering for classes and then give me an advisor that is 80% imaginary since he doesn't reply to emails or phone calls then that leaves me in a bit of a "situation." Actually, I'm angry and going to call the department right now.
To let loose, to let free, to breathe in, to breathe out. Peace out.
