Today I went to a Viking Festival!

And I got some goodies!

From top to bottom:

Coyote mandibles that say Odin's Wolves

A carved deer antler

A turtle collar bone

And a deer toe

Some ADORABLE earrings

And I got a bunch of information on Norwegian naming practices and some geneology sheets and websites!

My friend got me a crown, and I thought it would look dashing on Charles.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season!

Even Charles was in the spirit!

I wanted to share some new books I acquired over the holiday with you, I’m very lucky to have a family that encourages my interests.

From left to right:

No Bone Unturned by Jeff Benedict

Dr. Mütter’s Marvels by Cristin O’keefe Aptowicz

Illustrations of the Gross Morbid Anatomy of the Brain of the Insane (1908) by I.W Blackburn

A Forest of Kong’s by Linda as he’ll and David Freidel

Jungleland by Christopher Stewart

My Cultural Anthropology Professor shared this with our class today, so I thought I would share with you guys.

We were talking about silent language today and how some gestures we (Americans) used may not be carried out in the same context in other countries.

Learning about Subsistence Patterns and all the different ways cultures get (or have gotten) their food, and thought I would share a little.

This table shows some features of the major food-procurements. I thinks it's interesting that the more a culture relies on industrialized agriculture, the more separation of class becomes a part of that culture.

This is a map of known Hunter-gatherers throughout history. I wish this map also stated which were nomadic or semi-nomadic.

Have not posted in a while! My life got super chaotic, but I'm back at it!

First off, I hope everyone had a splendid holiday and a great new years!

I recently got my official grades from the Fall semester, and I'm pleased to say I passed both my honors classes!

And today I registered for my Spring 19 classes! Yay!

This semester I will be taking:

Introduction to Anthropology

Human Geography

Geology of Colorado

Art History: prehistoric to renaissance

Needles to say, I am excited!

I wish everyone luck this year!

I have not been home for a holiday in over 3 years.

I currently live in sunny California where it is like 75-90 degrees all the dang time.

But today, the last day of my trip home, IT SNOWED! I have not seen snow in 3 YEARS! I am so dang happy right now!

Spending the afternoon reading various anthropological articles and writing summaries. And as usual my fur baby is keeping me company 😺😻

The end of this week is going to be extra busy!

I am going on a mini vacation starting next week and I'm trying to cram 2 weeks worth into three days so I'm not missing out on my vacation to stay on top of classes.

This includes:

An Essay on The Great Gatsby

A quiz on The Great Gatsby

An Essy on an American Icon (I chose Neil DeGrasse Tyson)

A personal narrative essay

My second Anthro test

Three chapters of my Cultural Anthropology textbook

Creating survey and interview questions for my honors Anthro project

So needless to say I will be exhausted by the end of it, but it will be worth it when I have a worry and stress free vacation!

Today I discovered there is an Einstein's Bros. Bagels in my university library!

Rocking out some Geology chapters with my avocado bagel and chai tea. Good way to spend time between classes
