This is the day in the life of me (Hunter Powell) as an archaeological student.
4:00 – wake up when my alarm goes off, but go back to sleep because I think I’ll wake up on my own again.
4:30 – wake up when my roommate wakes me up, hold a grudge.
4:55 – all dressed and ready to go, feeling like i’m missing something
5:00 – load into the vans to get to site
5:10 – stop at Zorbas and get a donut, a large water, a monster energy, and some fruit.
5:30ish – arrive at site, but oh no! i forgot my knee pads,,, oh well.
5:30-9:00 – archaeological work!! Taking plenty (maybe too many) breaks because I get bored and tired and dehydrated easy.
9:00 – second breakfast, although i never even had a first breakfast, enjoy my fruit. (at this point the donut and the monster energy are already gone).
9:30-11:00 – rest of archaeological work for the day, still talking plenty of breaks, but less as i am rejuvenated from second breakfast.
11:30ish – arrive at home and here’s where the day splits off. i can either go take a 2 hour nap or go for a nice walk in the sweltering heat. usually i choose the latter for some reason.
From here on out my average day is so hectic that there would be no point in recording it! In any circumstance, this is going to be the future student’s basic daily routine (save for some time changes regarding archaeological work). Make sure you save enough time for the rest of your day to do things like homework. But of course have fun!
