r | they/them | ancient worlds major

χαίρετε!

about me:

call me r (or whatever else you'd like - I'm not fussy)

pronouns: they/them

studying: Bachelor of Arts, with a major in Ancient Worlds (specifically Mediterranean, Egypt and Mesopotamia)

special interests: Homer, maritime archaeology, pirateology, Egyptology, Ancient Greece (Bronze and Archaic Ages), Alexander the Great, Greek mythology and religious syncretism in the ancient world, general archaeology, and more...

career goals: archaeologist (on land and sea)

languages: English and Attic Greek (poorly - but I did study it for a year)

I am a part-time student at the moment, and hoping to post my progress throughout my studies here both to help motivate myself and also find some like-minded students. My goal is to remind myself why I am doing this course in the first place and also to fall back in love with learning.

please feel free to say hi, ask me anything about my studies, or just yap about ancient stuff!

Monday library views 😌

[roomforlight]

I know I always kinda post the same template, but this time it comes with the view from the library? Yay trees? 🌿

[roomforlight]

It's too hot to go to the library, so I went to our local café instead for a change of scenery ☕ this heat wave is killing me 🥲

a day of discovering new things and reclaiming old ones. i bought some more stationary that i don’t need yesterday, and then my mum came over with boxes of books she still had from when i last moved. i have yet to find space for them all so for now they are crammed wherever they can fit. i still have a large amount of schoolwork to get through - onwards and upwards.
