好久不见！(Translation: Long time no see!) I’m back blogging for CC, but this time I am not blogging about a grueling 400 level Environmental Science class… This time I’ll be filling you in on a class that is difficult in an entirely different way: Elementary Chinese. And my name is no longer Margo Davis. In this …
Saturday Morning Musing.
I sometimes wonder if I'm the right student to have blogging as the student curator. The term has connotations. Connotations that I'm actively involved with campus life, that I'm someone always around, a student other students know. Connotations that there isn't an event I'm not aware of, and that I'm relentlessly enthusiastic and never shy …
Menorcan Excursion #1
On Pottery
I confess to not being a pottery person. What gets my neurons firing are human remains and the stories that these ancient remnants of life can tell about a persons life and environment. Earlier this year in Osteology, where we studied both human and comparative skeletal anatomy and pathologies, I mentally declared myself a bones …
Indiana Jones Wannabe
I would like to set one thing straight immediately: archaeology is nothing like what you have seen in the Indiana Jones movies. Though I would revel in the adventure of outmaneuvering an ancient set of booby traps to rescue a priceless artifact from the inevitable destruct of the temple, I would immediately have several Institutional …
The Site of Sanisera: An Overview
As usual with my first posts, I have been struggling to write the introduction post to the class portion of this blog. If I were to jump into all the thoughts and events without a background, I feel as though no one would be able to understand what the heck I am referring to, as …
Barcelona
As expected, Barcelona was an experience filled with unplanned adventures, unanticipated detours, and the unwitting commitment of several cultural faux pas. Like the time we thought we climbed Montjuic, but really I think we just climbed a small hill that is potentially specifically cordoned off for old men to play bocce ball. Or the time …
What To Do When You’re Home for Spring Break.
Cuddle with your dog. Wonder how you'll ever leave your dog again. Be shocked by the humidity and warmth of your homeland. 85 degrees? Ocean breeze?

Flying (or not flying) by the seat of our pants
I am a notorious planner, addicted to schedules and reliant on lists. Besides making the unpredictability of next year almost more than my slightly neurotic personality can handle, it makes the adventure that I am currently undertaking entirely uncharacteristic. I'm sitting in the Miami airport, 7 hours into a 5 hour layover, considering exactly what …

Idris Goodwin’s Five Absolutes for Writing
After three days of performances in Armstrong Theater, we were all ready to start Spring Break. Idris dropped some wisdom on us before we went on our merry way, to encourage us to keep writing, revising, throw it in the air, and repeat. For those of us who are lucky enough to be in Old …
