Sleeping in EQ told me about the intro. page, and I feel like I hijacked enough threads today yapping about myself.

So, I'm a grad. student at Penn State, studying Ancient History and Classics. With any luck, I'll start my dissertation in May, 2007. My research focus is ancient Greece, specifically athletics, but I've also flirted a bit with the Ancient Near East, Rome, and modern sport history.

I'm technically active LDS, but struggle with many issues of faith - it's no secret. I like to consider myself P-LDS, P for 'provisional.'

I've read the board anonymously for several months and am really impressed by the brains lurking around here. I'll post when I have something to say, but deep down I'm greedy to read your thoughts.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.
