Ha, no, nothing like that. I was at a deli near UH and I got to talking to this history professor who's doing a lecture tour on shit they don't usually tell you about Ancient Egypt. Weird guy, but smart. Anyway, he asked me to come along as an assistant for the rest of his tour. It's four weeks, a bunch of different colleges. He said I could bring someone if they don't mind sharing my hotel room.
I don't know if this is too weird. I just thought, hey, free trip.
