About meI am just starting at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. I'm new to the area . . . and Canada so it is all a fun adventure. I'm studying for my PhD in physical anthropology. I'm pretty excited about it. Apart from being a student I also teach anatomy and anthropology.

I have a MS in Forensic Anthropology from Michigan State University. I went to Beloit College for undergrad. I majored in Anthropology and minored in museum studies and European Studies (pretty much European History). I will soon be moving to Edmonton, Alberta to study Anthropology at the University of Alberta and finally get my PhD.

I love books and movies and music and all things fun and entertaining. I try to have fun as much as possible, learn as much as possible (since its fun), and laugh as much as possible. I love to understand how things work and choose to believe some of it is magic anyway.

About my libraryI've added quite a few of my books at this point. So many of my books are in attic storage until I have a place where I can have a library . . . I add what I remember and what I just got new or what I find in the boxes as I move.
