Accepted!

There have been wonderful developments recently!


My research proposal was accepted! Three submissions, sleepless nights, and countless hours spent wracking my brain in front of books and a computer screen have all been worth it. The research will be funded and now I don't have to worry about major costs, like airfare and food. I can't wait to be in Jordan, putting everything I've worked on to use.

I will also be inducted into the Anthropology Honor Society, Lambda Alpha. The society is new to my college, so I'm apart of the first class! In order to qualify, a certain GPA needs to be maintained and you have to be in the top percentage of your class.


One more thing, I promise. About two weeks ago, I saw that the Expert Vagabond, Matthew Karsten, was having a contest for the Asalto 2.0 Guerrilla travel backpack. I've never entered an online contest before, but I've been shopping around for a travel backpack and decided to enter on a whim. I WON! The backpack is on it's way and should arrive in a couple days. I will definitely be putting the pack to use in Jordan, the surrounding countries, and all of my international trips in the future!
