Monthly Update
17 years ago
So it seems I only have time to update about once a month, so here goes...
Still here, hanging on at the end of the semester. I will be so happy when final papers and projects are done...XP Thankfully I don't have too many this semester. The one big thing hanging over my head is a 30 page (yeah right...gonna be 20) paper for iconography. On the plus side, I'm doing it on Indiana Jones ^.^ I just don't want to write it. I enjoy writing fiction, HATE writing research papers. I love doing the research but...why can't someone just take a look in my head, realize I know all the info and just go? Or let me do a presentation/discussion...I do much better with those.
Speaking of presentations, my paper at the archaeology conference went quite well ^.^ I eve had a number of people come up later and tell me they're excited about my project and want to know more. WOOT! Nothing like being validated by your colleagues. Plus I got to hang out at one of my good friend's houses for the whole weekend....but on the minus side I got a wicked cold about halfway through Not good times.
Thanksgiving was fun...my entire family and Kiro's entire family all descended upon Kiro's grandparents house about an hour from where we live now. Not to mention a few of my friends came by for the fun as well. I think the final count was 17 people or so...talk about an epic dinner! Putting only the smallest spoonful of food from each dish available and STILL running out of room on your plate. Mmmmm happy Rew belly! We played lots of games, and I got Indiana Jones monopoly! ^.^ Yes I am obsessed...but its so much fun. I should take a picture of my collection sometime just to show how bad I am. :-P
Speaking of games, I've finally joined the Xbox 360 world and gotten a live account and a headset. My gamer tag is Archaeoshof. I don't have many games right now, but I do love to chat! ^.^
Hmmm...What else has happened...Other than trying to get papers turned in and figure out where I'm going on my thesis, I think that's about it. There was a massive Anthro grad student Christmas party on Friday night. Rew had a little too much of a good time, but Kiro helped take care of me. I don't usually drink that much, but it was really nice to relax among my friends. I regret nothing, 'cuz I was fully conscious of my actions the whole night (except for one instance where I apparently smashed my head on a part of the counter that was overhanging the couch...but I still maintain it was the blow to the head, not the alcohol that made me forget) and I had a fabulous time. It really makes me sad to think a lot of my grad friends will be graduating this summer and moving on Stupid two year grad programs!
Hope everyone else is doing well...I also hope to be able to catch up on some reading over the Xmas break, though I still have a pile of work to get done for my thesis as well. >.< It never ends...

Glad your doing well, save for the cold. I lost a whole weekend to a nasty one a few weeks back.
