Ever mindful that my time here is rapidly running out, I'm looking for possible grad schools in classical and/or medieval history and archaeology. Current ideas:
http://www.utexas.edu/depts/classics/ (the classical archaeology program looks like fun - AND they offer (and encourage!) study abroad with the Freie Universitat Berlin for grad students)
http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/gsprospectus/subjects/history.html (but expensive without a stipend... and therefore unlikely.)
http://www.rhodesscholar.org/ (for study at oxford)
http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/gsp/courses/humanities/hist.shtml#research
http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/gsp/courses/humanities/clas.shtml#dept2
http://www.tcd.ie/Medieval_History/gradstudy.html (also very unlikely without a stipend)

I just wish I knew where I was headed after here. I guess I'll have a better idea after the field school this summer, but I want to know now. I'm trying not to worry, but it's hard sometimes... All I know now is that I don't really want to stay around here (the air's too bad, and there's just too much city), and I don't want to go back to Longview (might as well give up on all my dreams right now if I did that). And I'd kind of like to bring my dog along... because I miss him, and I probably won't know anyone where I'm going. Austin's tempting because it's ~5-6 hours away from what I've always called 'home', and worst comes to worst, I can always drive back on weekends to see my dog.
I'm just curious as to where I'll go, where everyone else will end up, what we'll all do with our lives and with what we've learned here. I don't want this year to go by any faster, I'm just asking for prescience... or at the very least, a little peace of mind. That's not too much to ask, right?
