I finally picked the right field school after flipping a coin

Had to choose between a dig in Colorado studying pueblo ruins or one in Florida looking at shipwrecks. I went with Florida because my buddy said the water would be warmer. Ended up finding a 300 year old glass bottle on day 3 and the whole team got excited about it. Has anyone else had a tough time picking between two totally different projects?

Lost the coin toss on my last big life choice and ended up with a parking ticket and a half empty coffee.

Haha @nina_butler that parking ticket really puts things in perspective, sorry about that. When I had to pick between two projects last year, I stopped trying to figure out which was "better" and just asked myself which one I'd regret not trying. Turns out my gut was way louder than I gave it credit for. Same thing happened to a friend of mine who flipped a coin for a job offer, he got the one he secretly wanted and never looked back. Sometimes the coin isn't the real answer, it just helps you notice what you're hoping for while it's spinning. Hope your next toss lands warmer than that coffee!
