Greetings and Hallucinations

Ah, my first blog post. Pardon me, that's incorrect. This is my first blog post that might be read by people I know.

Now, what's this blog going to address? Mostly my "Archaeology of Death course - I still haven't read the syllabus (I'll do that next - perhaps I should've done that first?). I am very excited for this class. I've heard great things about Erin and God knows I appreciate a fun professor. I believe they make or break a class, no matter how interesting the material. 

I would say my interest in burials and their meanings first sparked in one of my anthropology intro classes. The professor mentioned the presence of pollen at the Shanidar Neanderthal burial. This find suggested that a funeral had been held. I couldn't believe something so small could tell us so much. I look forward to analyzing these types of details further.

You might have noticed my blog's name is Darkly Dreaming Dawn. I must give credit to my muse: Dexter Morgan. How cheesy(convoluted maybe?) is that that? My muse is a fictional serial killer. The "Dawn" part comes from my middle name. 

I'm not much of a tv person but my sister recently got me hooked on the series - she said it would be right up my alley. Of course I've heard of it before but I just never took the time to sit down and watch it. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I'm only on Season 3 so please no spoilers!
