Shout Out To New Musers! #23

I've Also Officially Graduated As An Undergrad!

Hello, Hello Fellow Musers! May has followed April as being an MayDay kind of month, school-wise, but it’s almost done and June and Summer are within reach, around the corner! We have a new Fellow Muser who joined us earlier this month, so please join me in welcoming them!

Welcome To Our Newest Fellow Muser!

Will!

Thank you so much for joining this smol yet ever growing corner of Substack! If you haven’t already, be sure to check out Musings Chat and start a thread there if you’d like, and lemme know what you think of the writings (both human and critter) via

as well as responding via email via post, or ya know, when we run into each other at work! Thank you again for taking time to subscribe and reading what I write! I’m sending many Hearty Huzzahz your way!

I’m still working on Deep Dive #1, but also

…

I’ve officially graduated with my bachelors degree! It took me one semester longer (yeah, I know, it happens, womp womp womp¹), but I’m officially NOT an undergraduate anymore! Huzzah!🎉🎉

Definitely worth re-posting again now that I’ve OFFICIALLY graduated!/Photo: December 13, 2024

So what have I been doing that has delayed the much anticipated first Deep Dive? Lemme tell y’all: I’m currently struggling to filling out an application for the museum studies program that my workplace is affiliated with, which is why my Deep Dive that I had wanted to put out this month has been delayed. My inner perfectionist has let herself out from timeout and is interfering, so I have found myself overthinking my work sample and the CV. But I’m getting ever so closer to sending it in, so that’s what I keep focusing on😄 and totally NOT the thoughts of, “My gawd, wtf am I doing?!? I must be going crazy! Am I insane???”😅

I’m still working on the Deep Dive and I will give you a preview of it, but it ain’t done (that’s not my inner perfectionist talking-its really not done). But in June, Musings of an Anthropology Student will be celebrating and reflecting on Substackaversary: Year 2, so I will have something for y’all soon! I already have some ideas of what I want to do for Year 3, but I’ll let y’all know what those are in the upcoming post. It will not be out by June 1st (this Substack’s actual anniversary of its first article-essay), but I will make sure to have it out before the first half of June is over💞

Thank you again, Will, for giving me the space to open up about my Substack to you one day at work when our inner introverts allowed us to have a fantabulous conversation about random things while we worked on our respective projects😄Thank you to you, longtime Fellow Musers, for continuing to stick with me, especially as my brain transitions from undergraduate mode to graduate mode💜Please enjoy a Behind-the-Scenes-Sneak-Peak of Deep Dive #1 and as always

Carpe Diem and Huzzah!
