Another Beginning...

Okay I'm officially back - talk about a leave of absence! I'm going to try a few new things with this blog, so here's the quick rundown on me:
1) I am now officially a married woman.
2) But that's only official - we're having the blessing (which we are counting as our "real" wedding) this summer.
3) The official wedding was done so that Gareth and I can start immigration procedures.
4) I graduate in five and a half months and will (WILL!!) have a bachelors degree in archaeology and anthropology, specializing in social anthropology.
5) My degree is very very interesting, and I still love it.
6) My degree results in one of two basic paths - either a career where I'm paid in the local currency (which, as far as I can tell, in anthropology this usually means livestock, e.g. cows) or I become an investment banker. It seems that a lot of people are going the latter route.
7) I refuse to go either route, therefore I must trailblaze...
8) But #7 tends to be a fairly common outcome in my life. And it's worked out pretty well so far.
9) I've decided to experiment with veganism. In the film "Super Size Me", Morgan Spurlock went from a largely vegan diet to a 100% McDonalds diet. I'm going to do what I consider to be the reverse - go from a largely crappy diet to a vegan diet. I'm going to call it "Minimize Me". I've decided to do a separate blog for this as I track what happens and what I do on a day to day basis - how I feel, what I eat, how I struggle with determining whether something is vegan or not, etc.
10) I will continue this blog, but on a fairly limited basis.

Ta-ta for now.
