Assignment #1: Autobiography

Hello to my readers out there! Some of you out there may know me personally, but for the many of you who don't, here is a little background on myself.

My name is Cassie Pratt, and I'm from a little town, in Wisconsin, called Columbus. This is the point where people's eyes get wide, and the question that pours from their lips is "What are you doing down here in Texas?" That question is the one I'm here to answer.

Ever since I can remember, my family has taken trips to the ocean. Because of those trips, I have fallen in love with it, and have wanted a career involving it since 3rd grade. As anyone can imagine, finding a school with a minor involving anything oceanic is impossible in the Midwest. Thankfully, I found this little school in Texas, known as Texas A&M at Galveston!

While I'm here in Texas, I plan to pursue a degree in Maritime Studies (MAST) with a minor in archaeology. Eventually I want to be working in the Mediterranean as a nautical archaeologist, but there is a lot of work to be done before that can happen.

Through this little blog, you can follow me during my first semester in reaching this goal. Hopefully it's somewhat entertaining, and feel free to drop me a line with whatever thoughts you have. They are always welcome!

Peace out...
Rock on...
Do whatever it is you do!

Cassie :)
