1 I'm pretty good with project management. I was always able to take whatever academic stuff we were learning in class and apply it to the physical part.
Like mapping. I was taking a class where they teach archaeological theory and how it applies to maps. This one exercise we were using
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodolite . Well one of them broke so there weren't enough to go around. I volunteered to wait for the first person to finish. The instructor was concerned because the exercise was designed to last the rest of the period. I insisted and even though people had a 30 minute head start I finish before most of the class.
I guess it's really just multi tasking, taking the big picture and making sure the little stuff gets done.
It's that or my blood. I'm a Red Cross Baby Brigade donator, so my blood is awesome for babies.
2 I can't study. No matter how hard I try I just can't sit down and go page by page reviewing information. If I didn't learn it in the lecture or textbook then I'm pretty much boned.
3 Jamaica for non alcoholic. Beer for alcoholic (this shouldn't be too big of a surprise)
4 Anywhere hiking. I really like the foothills here where the desert transitions into mountain forest.
5. Frankenstein. My car was stolen over a year ago and I thought my only copy (the one I've read a dozen times) was in there. I was more upset about that then the actual car. About six months later I found it in my bookshelf.
6 Shawshank Redemption

If you could use one person to characterise your (dream) self as an archeologist, who would that be?
I'm not sure I understand this one. Who amongst archaeologists do I wish I could be? Who in the archaeological record do I most resemble? Harrison Ford?
