About this user
I'm a recent graduate of Cornell College in Iowa where I studied archaeology. I am an avid student of all things archaeological and have participated in a few digs and field schools. My experience includes work in the American Southwest, Iowa and Egypt. While most of my experience is in the American Southwest, my dreams and aspirations lie elsewhere.
Since high school I have been enthralled with any subject pertaining to ancient Egypt. It is my dream to someday become a professional Egyptologist. I've found that my passion lies in the study of the medicinal practices of the ancient Egyptians. This subject includes the surgeries performed and the herbs used, but also encompasses the religious and magical aspects of the culture.
A few more little tidbits of information about myself. I love movies. Action adventure are some of my favorites, like Indiana Jones and the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser. I also love sappy films like Pride and Prejudice. My most favorite movies of all time are the Lord of the Rings films. Music is very important to me. I play the violin and the piano and constantly have some CD or another playing in the background. My favorite types of music include traditional and modern celtic, Irish pub tunes, soundtracks, oldies, The Beatles, Dean Martin, Glenn Miller, some New Age music and classical. I love to read historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction books. My favorite novel of all time is The Lord of the Rings. I also write poetry and have a couple of novels in the works. I like to draw as well. My parents, biased as they are, have even framed a few of my drawings.
