last day of classes tomorrow + a final in anthropology but all my brain will let me study rn is graffiti writing and history. i did all of these last night as my first attempts at learning lettering.

hyperfixations r so insane bc wdym i locked in for like 6 hours, didnt sleep, got + basically finished a commission (photo on the right) for a skill i’d just taught myself only an hour prior to being commissioned ???

i live and breathe hip hop lately, trying to hit 3/4 pillars by the end of the year so who has tips on learning to DJ lol (you will never catch me rapping or emceeing tho ill say some dumb shit if im handed a mic)

field school / summer plans update time!!!

ive been accepted to & enrolled in a field school in spain! the program focuses on bioarchaeology and the site we’ll be excavating at is a roman necropolis.

ill be spending a little over 2 weeks in menorca for the program then going to barcelona for a week to explore. from there ill be in bangkok for 10 days bc i miss thailand with all my heart and havent been back since pre-covid. after that off to seoul as usual to visit friends and party before my final semester of college 🥳

ill also be taking intensive italian through my home uni online while traveling so i dont have to do spring 2027 for only 6 credits worth of electives

ive already paid full tuition and booked all my flights except the one back home from seoul and im researching hostels for spain and bangkok rn!! then i always stay in goshiwons in seoul.

im soso excited ive pulled this off even with my grades dropping and how much i struggled last year i managed to convince the school to let me go and ive turned my entire life around im happier than ever

graduation in december and hopefully moving to seoul early 2027!!! i wish teenage me could see us now so bad

Actually the best feeling in the world.

I made it!!!! and im going to field school in europe for my dream specialization in 2 months!!!

Gap year then (hopefully) grad school here I come 🥳🎉

(im not actually done until december but i just registered for all my summer & fall classes so the little pie chart finally filled up and i got excited)

after my hospitalization last spring my gpa dropped because it caused me to miss my midterms. now due to that gpa drop my uni wont approve me to go abroad for field school and im genuinely heartbroken, theres a no-credit option where i wouldnt need their approval but i cant afford it without school funding. this is so crucial to my grad school apps i dont know what to do.

[indianabonez]

GUYS I CONVINCED THEM TO GIVE ME CONDITIONAL APPROVAL SO I CAN SUBMIT MY APPLICATION ON TIME NOW ITLL BE BASED ON MY SPRING GPA INSTEAD!!! FIELD SCHOOL HERE I COMEEE NOW I JUST NEED TO LOCK IN FUNDING AAAAA

hello people in my phone

im doing a project for my american studies class about different subcultures between the 70s-90s most notably the punk/grunge/riotgrrrl movements and their relation to american political culture.

if anyone has any good reliable sources for information theyd recommend or even just fun facts you know from personal interest on any of these please let me know!! especially movies/docs etc but obviously academic sources as well. ill be talking about the history, music, fashion, and as mentioned political aspects. i need quite a bit of info since it has to be a 15 minute presentation (and also just because im interested)

[indianabonez]

finally built / set up my desk and im already being SO much more productive. trying to do work in bed just ends in me playing the sims instead.

[indianabonez]

loving my american pop culture course so far its very interesting. we started with learning about p.t. barnum and how the circus started, i have dabbled in circus arts so loved hearing about this. i had never seen the greatest showman though so im currently like a third of the way through it and the way hes portrayed is fascinating. im aware its because its a movie and all but wow did they skip a lot lol

Welcome back + happy spring semester I love hearing about your interesting classes!!! 🫶

thank you!! ive had a lot of fun picking classes since i transferred out of cc. anthro classes almost all sound fake but always end up being super cool/insightful and i love that about this field, literally almost anything can be studied through anthropology if you want it to be.

HAPPY SPRING SEMESTER!!!

i just got back home from south korea and im ready to lock in. spent my break in seoul visiting my friends and actually taking a break for once! excited about my classes this semester so here they are

- POLISCI 202: Comparative Politics

- ANTH 372: Anthropology of Death

- AMST 101: Popular Culture in America

- PSYCH 234: Cross-Cultural Relations

- ASIAN 363: Modern Japan

im sososo excited for this anthropology class ive waited 2 years for them to finally offer it again along with forensic anth (still no luck there). mostly about mortuary/funerary anthropology so burial rituals, varying cultural death practices and beliefs, etc.

we all know i love a good pop culture/media class, the one i took at korea university was one of my favorite classes ever so im excited to also get the american version of that.

slightly scared of the polisci class tbh, i previously took a north korean politics class at KU that was insanely interesting but i fear the vibes are different in an american setting. keeping an open mind though of course, mostly worried about the professors.

psych!!!! going back to my roots. i originally was a psych major when i started college and i feel like this class will kind of bring together all the things ive studied since as my path was psych>foreign languages>anthropology

and modern japan, i looove history and this fills one of my last minor requirements but i can tell already (this is the only course that has posted on canvas) the professor is strict and this course is suuuper reading/writing heavy but after taking a required math course last semester i was about to start begging for someone to assign me an essay so i think im ready for it.

hoping to actually update continually this semester as i live alone now and have been much happier and calmer these days :) i also Thankfully only have to be on campus 3 days a week now rather than 5 which will in theory let me be much less overwhelmed than i was the past year.

hope youre all doing good and good luck this term!! lmk what classes youre looking forward to i love hearing what other people study

hi tumblr! long time no blog. i’ve been slacking admittedly but feeling my motivation coming back.

submitted all my application materials for field school last night!!! i’ll either be somewhere in europe or china for a month during the summer

currently having a little marathon of archaeology themed media while i study the bone manual and other recommended readings for my program and taking small breaks to play jungle adventures in the sims :)

how’s everyone’s days and semesters going so far?? any big plans for next semester or next year? im about to finish my junior year and can’t believe it!

[indianabonez]

[indianabonez]

hello tumblr its been a few days. i havent gone to my shifts at the lab or any of my classes this week as i’m healing from wisdom tooth surgery.

speaking of teeth tho, here are some from last weeks shift along w other bones. not sure exactly where/what all of these are from, these werent actually materials i was doing work with they were being washed by our volunteers in order for me to inventory them later on.

idk about anyone else but midterm season is kicking my ass. ive had to miss so much class lately bc of dentist appointments and feel So behind but cant catch up rn because my face is still swollen & hurting. good luck to everyone else on your exams hopefully youre all feeling more confident than i am lol

Calling all archaeoblurs!

If you're an archaeologist* and have a Tumblr, reblog this or sound off in the comments! I figured it's high time we put together a directory of sorts.

*for our purposes, archaeologist can mean someone who has or is working on a degree in archaeology, you don't necessarily have to be currently practicing. If you have a blog that is specifically archaeology focused, include that and what your specialty is!
