Working in the Lab : Sunday, Aug 23, 2009

Well, today we worked in the lab again. This makes 7 days in a row. Not that I'm complaining; on the contrary, I'm trying to illustrate just how dedicated we all are to this research! Since our time in Peru is coming to an end rather quickly, we're all a little worried about getting all of the burials analyzed before Wednesday. Honestly, us girls might be more anxious than Valerie, which is saying something! haha.
We made some serious progress though, and just whipped through several burials. We've all improved so much over these past weeks, that instead of doing 3-4 burials a day, we're hitting 8 burials a day!! That shows fantastic progress. It's exciting to realise how much we've improved, especially for me. I feel like I was at a disadvantage at the beginning of this research. I mean, I hadn't taken Osteology for awhile, and I didn't know how to identify various pathologies...and now, I'm an expert! haha, just kidding, but I'm an expert compared to where I was at the beginning of August.
