I love animals and I love bones and I
love archaeology
so bringing in aspects in zoology in
archaeology together
and into one topic and into one subdiscipline of archaeology was
and really intriguing to me and
I really want to help I guess better
understand
human nature and
I guess specifically and the
interactions between
animals and humans and I think and what
really motivates me
is I guess there very cliche booking
requests for new knowledge
and I get the dissemination I'll
this knowledge and how it can help us
better understand ourselves
and the environment that we live and inhabit. Sometimes I think oh this is
getting really difficult this is a lot
on my plate it difficult to handle
but I just think this is what I've
always wanted to do and
this is what I've always want to study
and so it
kind of like living the dream. So I
just think this is this is what I want
to do this is
that the career I chose this is what I
want to do with my life and
just it's just keeps me motivated. 
You end up going through a whole process
have designing a research project from
the start
finding your data figuring out ways to
analyze the data
and and of course you have the support
from the Faculty but to
but it's much more involved in rigorous
than
and many other masters programs and so
you really do
get out what you put in with a master's
and there's a reason
why trent graduates in Ontario
archaeology at least have
and have a good reputation
one of the things that happens
every year I'm
after a few weeks slogging through some
quite difficult material he finally see
at the light box click on that missed
you getting quite excited about
about the you know the skills that they
developed
over a couple of months of  quite
intensive work. I'm from Peterborough original
and I was looking at
all the universities are the entrance
thinking I didn't want to come home
and then I started researching it more and realized what a great program it
is
the faculty is top notch and
and the more and more I I looked into it
the more I realized that this was
the best choice.
