[1980raerae]

Hi, my name is Rachel and I'm currently finishing up my MA in Bioarchaeology/biological anthropology at California State Univ, LA. I'm 29 years old and I am (mostly) from Italian descent, with a little Slovak and Polish thrown in for good measure
My family tells me that I was born on the wrong side of the Atlantic, as I love all things Italian. Perhaps that is why I chose Roman archaeology as my speciality in school, even though it is extremely difficult to find a curriculum at the MA level specializing in this.
I find the EU to be much more intersting than the US and I like to be kept up-to-date on news and events that are occuring across the pond.

Thanks,

...as I love all things Italian

What do you think of Italian Renaissance then?

And where are you going to work after graduating (as your speciality is at least interisting)?

I really like the Renaissance period. When I first seen the David in Firenze, it was an OMG moment for me. Same with seeing Michelangelo's work in the Vatican. Absolutely beautiful. I fear that I am not an art expert, though, so what I know of the Renaissance stems mostly from books and pictures.

I hope to teach archaeology/anthropology at the junior colleges here in the States. I also hope to be able to participate in fieldschools in Italy during the summers so I remain relevent in the field.

What am I to say. No words.
