vanderbilt

ok ok ok ok.

i think i've finally got it!

Francisco Estrada Belli

is a name that i need to remember!

this man works over at vanderbilt university, which unfortunately happens to be located in Nashville, Tennessee, BUT he not only works with mayan archaeology, he also dabbles in underwater archaeology!!!
i'm kinda confused how he can keep up with his diving since he's in fucking Nashville (i'm sure it's not his top priority), but nonetheless, it's the first time i've found anyone who deals with these two issues.

i have to thank my fred's coworker, Jemma, an aspiring lawyer, who mentioned the want to go to vanderbilt which re-inspired my search at this locale.

before, i had only looked at the university because it harbors the god-like archaeologist, Tom Dillehay (third down): excavator of the infamous and controversial 12,500 year-old Monte Verde site in southern Chile, as well as the author of a book that i read a while back: The Settlement of the Americas.

to work with both these people would be like being in a dream.
this kinda makes me want to take the GREs again (after studying for them) and put some effort into essays and such.

dammit. this is a smart school!
this aint no UAA (anchorage, AK).

time to get my ass in gear.
i wonder why i had no problem emailing the ECU guy, Nathan Richards, but would rather piss my pants before contacting this Dr. Francisco.
i recoil with anxiety when i see something i really want.

maybe that's why i have troubles with girls...
