I actually really wanted to be an archaeologist since I was young and even took some courses in college for it. But Sadly my math disability is holding me back from any real degree. I wanted to be a Marine Archaeologist or an archaeologist that specialized in rebuilding ancient temples and tombs. But their is a sub field in archeology that caters to us disabled people. Experimental archaeology. They are the ones that like make ancient recipes and brew ancient beers and wines, and build weapons and siege engines and such. Some even work with just trying to translate ancient prayers and religious texts, from the pagan times.

yeah but that means im indoors at a desk all the time D:
I wanted to be out climbing into ruins and spending weeks in the sun unearthing ancient documents and whatnot lol

Hey gurl I feel yah! I want the same thing. Maybe some day!

we would probably bump into eachother in our fields, too! i wanted to specialize in mythology, specifically dragons.

Yeah most likely! And oooo that would be fascinating, you would be going all over Europe. I mainly wanted to rebuild ancient temples and palaces because like you I love Ancient Mythology. Although for the longest time i wanted to specialize in marine stuff. Shipwrecks <3

shipwrecks are so badass! that and they're like giant versions of fish bowl decorations for the fishies to live in! so win/win!

Spooky... Most the women I've ever known have, at one point or another, wanted to be marine biologists. They all changed tune when something shark-related happened. Some saw "Jaws" and were like "NOPE!". Some went to Marine Biology Camp and got scared while feeding the sharks. Some went swimming with sharks and nearly pissed themselves when one swam a little too close for comfort.

i like sharks, actually. they dont scare me. They are no different from any predator. respect their boundaries, keep away from their young, and dont get between them and food. Easy peasy. Only downside is they are really curious and tend to identify things by bumping into them and lightly nibbling.... and that light nibbling and bumping can remove a limb even if they dont mean to o_o

Its like big cats. sure its trying to play with you but with a paw that huge propelled by muscles that strong, a playful swat and there goes your head rolling across the grass!

No what did me in was my back. Because of the angle of my ribcage, I dont have a proper lung capacity so I cant do scuba training.

Damn. That sucks.

yay back problems... x_x
