9. What are some things you've always wanted to do but have never done?
Be a volunteer summer archaeologist at a dig... say, in England for friends availability convenience's sake, plus there are a lot of excellent archaeological opportunities there from Roman stuff to Saxon stuff to Tudor, etc. Also, learn to play guitar.
10. What is currently your biggest time waster?
I got into this game called June's Journey. Played on my iPad. It's lasted a lot longer than most of my occasional forays into apps/games. I do not consider reading like a fiend a time waster.
11. If you could bring back one extinct animal which would you choose?
I mostly agree with Mistersmearcase on this; I'd rather we keep what we have (especially whales) than go wild with some Mammoth DNA.
12. What are some of the worst pieces of advice you've been given?
Hm. I can't really think of any, offhand. Either I have been given excellent advice my whole life, or I haven't been given much advice at all. I suspect the latter, but I do not know whether that is because I have some kind of a repel-advice forcefield, or what.
13. What is something you’re avoiding right now?
Making calls to all my students' parents to remind them to go down to the program Office and sign bits of fucking horrible paperwork that is late (because my fault).
14. What is something you do that you'd like to be able to stop?
I think I would like not to stay up until all hours of the night (that means, like, 3 AM, unable to get to sleep) (or 4 AM) -- fuelled in a cycle by crashing from exhaustion after teaching and therefore napping in the afternoon.
15. Which household chore do you tend to put off the most?
I don't at all mind dishes. I don't dust, ever.
16. Do you have freckles?
No, but my sister used to be SO FRECKLED. She hated it. They faded with her teenage years and adulthood, though.
17. Have you become close friends with anyone you met at work?
I am not good at work friends, I don't think. I have good friends from my first teaching job, but lots have moved away. I made two good friends at the school site I was at before this remote independent study gig, but one of them lives several towns away and it's basically impossible to hang out. The other woman literally just lives a couple of blocks away. The three of us did pretty regular Zoom TGIF Friday Happy Hours during the Pandemic. Which was a lot of fun.
