<p>Hi, everyone.<br>
I’m a rising senior, and I’m really interested in anthropology/archaeology. A month or so ago, I contacted and was able to meet with a nationally-recognized archaeology professor at the University of Chicago. It was an informative and informal meeting, and she was very welcoming and helpful, though a bit overwhelmed (the lab apparently had just flooded). She told me to email her in a week so we could figure out when would be good days for me to volunteer around the lab. I did that, but she hasn’t responded in almost two weeks. I am extremely excited for this opportunity to develop something I’m passionate about, not to mention the boost it would give my applications. How should I contact her again without sounding like an over-eager, bothersome high schooler? Or should I just let it go, assume she’s too busy, and be thankful for the one meeting I had with her?</p>
<p>Don’t let it go. Try another email. If that doesn’t work, call.</p>
<p>lol Why are you so passive? Yeah, I agree with ^</p>
<p>If you follow up, you’re showing ambition and stuff. Plus, what’s the worst that could happen if you call or email again? It’s not like she’ll get annoyed and say S T F U</p>
<p>Good luck :D</p>
<p>Haha, thanks. When I look at the whole situation again, I can totally see that I’m way too passive. I’ll give it another go - I really want this to work out! Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Come back and follow up! I want to know how it goes!</p>
