| I'm even happier than this here guy! |
I'm extremely pleased, as it's such a renowned university for Palaeolithic studies and there are so many amazing people that work, study, or have worked or studied there in the past. I'll be very humbled to be among them! And I don't know how, but somehow I've interested [b]Clive Gamble[/b] to be my supervisor! Well I do know how, he has done amazing work and research that has influenced me and my ideas for years, and my project is related to his interests... but what luck! Well, not luck... just amazingness! And a bit of timeliness? The Lucy to Language project has wrapped up and some of that work I'll be drawing on for my own project.
My own project... I've kept my project ideas a bit mum on this page, as at first they were changing so quickly, and then once I got really excited about them I didn't want to do something such as !!post them!! - and see them crumble! But I'm really excited about the project I put forth, and while there are weaknesses, I think the support I'm likely to get at Southampton and the absolute MOST I'm going to give this, will hopefully produce something really valuable to both Palaeolithic archaeology and language evolution disciplines, and take me on the next step in an eventual career path!
I haven't heard about funding just yet, but I'm crossing my fingers in hope. I'll be commuting from Oxford, and funding will mean I can spend more time at the department... and eat more! Without funding I can barely make it work, with a bit of part time work here and there along with my jewellery business, but I've been wanting to do this for so long that I'm just happy to jump in however many nights of rice and beans I have to go through.
I'll post soon about my project idea as it is, and then run and hide... it scares me because I like it!!
You make me want to go back and do it all over again - in your field! You'll have a great time, and with your enthusiasm for the subject matter, I have no doubt you'll succeed as well! Enjoy
