Wampum beads excavated this summer season at Ferryland, a very early 17thC settlement under an hour drive along coast west of St John’s. Amazing site for preservation of stone structures and evidence of wide Atlantic trade networks. #EarlyModern #Archaeology

WEMBLEY DONS!

The regional hub model is also bad -- universities outside the regional hubs get nothing, beyond what can be found through things like Collaborative Doctoral Partnership schemes. But the "Landscape" model is worse: only 50 universities have funding, at only 3 a year, across all arts and hums depts.

Application submission day has been a fun mix of a cake-based diet and a low-level sense of impending doom. I couldn’t have hoped for better!

I’ve been using my time in Oxford to hone my mezzotint and relief printing skills! Maybe there’s potential for a career in this if the historian plans fall through…

Watching all the people I have email threads with also come online on Outlook every Sunday is nothing if not depressing

40 hours in the working week and my meetings always seem to fall in the same one. Damn you scheduling conflicts!

It wouldn’t be the lead up to term at a new institution if I wasn’t experiencing completely debilitating IT issues that no one else seems to have

Who was going to tell me that I’m going to have to read and write things for this master’s degree??

Five minutes after saying my last goodbye to campus, I got the notification saying my request to fix the a/c in the common room (that had been broken for months) had been completed. A fitting legacy, I think.

Feeling SO INCREDIBLY NORMAL about the fact I am seeing TAYLOR SWIFT tomorrow

Another year, another August spent in spreadsheet hell. Some things never change.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me along my undergraduate journey! I feel very lucky to have met so many wonderful people along the way. I would not be on the path I am without you all!

Yesterday I graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) in Liberal Arts from King’s College London! 🎓

So excited to share that I’ve been awarded a scholarship to The Queen’s College, and I’m looking forward to starting my MSt in US History at the University of Oxford in October!

Pretty sure all this grey weather is London punishing me for confirming I’m going to be moving in September

Good morning to everyone except the number 1 bus driver who watched me run alongside him while he was in traffic and then drove past the bus stop

Reunited after 4 months apart from this one! I’ve never seen her more excited to see me, so I think I’ve been missed.

In hindsight, transporting all my dissertation books back to Senate House with a sprained foot might not have been the best idea…

Well, that’s a wrap on dissertation writing. If you don’t hear from me over the next few days, it’s because I’m taking the longest nap of my life.

Sitting inside writing all the time was fine when the weather was cold, but now it’s warming up I’m beginning to get some serious fomo. Just!! Three!! More!! Weeks!!
