21) Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 2008?
Insofar as things like having graduated uni, learnt to drive and got a job, yes. However I didn’t expect that I would be married or that I would have an office job and a mortgage. I thought I’d be off digging on archaeological sites across the country, never really living in the same place for very long, and I hadn’t considered the whole falling in love thing.

I suppose I could still have the archaeology part, I’m qualified in it and I did work in it for a while, but it doesn’t seem fair on Fin for me to get a job that would keep me away from home so much, and I guess it’s the only reason that I’m not working doing the job I trained for. I know I’d like both really Fin and the job, but I guess I made my choice, and I’m not unhappy with it.
