Well, hello. It's been a while, hasn't it? Damn.
Let's see... I think the most important life update here is that I got a new job recently. It's exciting. I am working as an Historic Structures Field Technician for a consulting firm. Right now, I am in my first week of work: hanging out in rural West Virginia, looking for historic structures in Clay County. I am working in a team with a guy (J) who also recently received a Master's degree. We seem to work well together.
Fun things to report from this trip:
-Clay County is the home of the Golden Delicious apple. Random, yes.
-According to an old man living in a house covered in sheet metal, this area is "a great place to raise a dog."
-We ran across a house that used to be a roadhouse for a prison camp in the late 1920s before it became a home for the family of the current owner in 1933.
Anyway, I am liking it well enough. We can only work until we lose light, so that usually has us wrapping up by 6pm. I am usually exhausted when I get back to the hotel, and then we go get dinner somewhere (we don't have too many options, though...). I've been trying to be in bed early because I am just so physically tired. It's weird that driving around in a car all day would make you so tired, but whatevs.
I can't believe that next week is Thanksgiving! And Bananne and Snickers' wedding!! CRAAAAAZY! CLRG and I will drive to Michigan early next week, and see the g-rents for the holiday before the wedding stuff begins. It will be a good time. I already miss my own bed though. My blip at home over the weekend may not be enough. Haha.
