On May 23 I finished my undergraduate degree, somehow managing to double major in History and French with minors in Linguistics and International Relations. I’m so glad I got to go to the college I chose (and particularly grateful for scholarships!), because I got to meet and live with some very lovely people. The college I went to gave me access to the best academic experiences of my life: a summer internship working for my prof on an archaeological site in Türkiye & a 6 month semester in Paris, France.
I had plenty of hard times— I can’t say that I am a good student, but college has made me confident to say that I can be a good scholar. In September, I will be starting a masters program in Iron Age Archaeology, which I am genuinely thrilled about (and I hardly ever use that word). I expect that next year will be even harder academically than anything I’ve done so far, but I’m so excited to try.
This summer I won’t be doing much— I’m tutoring a couple hours a week, but other than that I’m just helping my mum clean up the house to sell. I will try to keep posting (mostly book stuff, research, and chores) and maybe try to get back into art.
