What I used to want to be when I grew up

A long time ago, I wanted to excavate fossils. As my job. And I wanted to discover new dinosaurs and anything I could about what we used to be like.

This article is really cool. It reminds me of a story that we read in Prof. Pratt's class. (I must be honest and admit that I don't remember which one, but I think it was by Pardo Bazan) And it makes me just a teensy bit sad that I'm still in graduate school poring over books and not out digging in the dirt.
