Well, not a whole lot to report this week. Sunday I went out with the girls for Valentine's day. We went and saw a dumb movie and then went to Pizza Hut. They had amazingly bad service for Valentine's day evening. And they weren't even very busy. They were also out of a lot of their food. I don't know who orders that stuff, but they did a terrible job. After that we went bowling. That was really fun. I think I got my highest score ever. 143!! The busses stop running really early on Sunday s so we had to walk to a bus stop to take some other bus. The lady at the bowling place told us to walk up this ridiculously huge set of stairs and then follow the fence line. We did, but there were no lights and I'm pretty sure no one was suppose to be up there. We walked along the fence until we got to some brush and couldn't go any further. We then had to turn back and call a cab. But of course we didn't have a cab number. We finally tracked down a number and ordered 2 cabs. Then a cab showed up really quickly and took half the group. When the next cab showed up he said that the next one was behind him. We said, no, it already came, but apparently that guy had scammed us and told us he was there to pick us up when he wasn't. But the other guy was cool and didn't make us pay for two or anything.
Monday I had class. We were learning about paleopathology this week. People with skulls that fuse too soon and are really small, people whose skulls get really big because of increased cranial pressure, cleft palate, scoliosis, osteoarthritis, stuff like that. It was pretty cool to see it. Tuesday we started learning how to make a database to record our animal bone assemblage. Its actually not that hard once you know what you're doing. And it makes recording and retrieving your info way easier than using excel. And to think I had never even heard of access until getting to England. Wednesday Stine and I went to lab. We started in the human lab to review some of the basic identification stuff that we'd forgotten. I don't know what I'll do when looking for a job and not having been in the lab for months. I won't remember anything :s
Thursday I went to a coffee shop to study. I didn't actually get a whole lot of studying done though. Whenever I go with Stine I just end up talking to her and not reading. But I do learn about Norway, which is cool. This week I learned that they have a lot of problems with immigration too. They also have crazy/stupid politicians who don't know how to use their brains. So its nice to know it isn't just America. Then Thursday night I had people over for apple crisp. I'd been wanting some but knew I'd just eat the whole pan if I made it, so I invited people over and we finished it off that night. It was pretty delicious.
Friday I woke up with a bit of a cold. I went to class and was feeling worse after so I came home and went to bed. When I got up I felt even sicker. I fell asleep again and was slightly better when I woke up. Saturday I still didn't feel great, but I got a lot of reading for my dissertation proposal done. There is some interesting stuff out there, but nothing from Britain in the Iron Age so I guess that's good, but it also leaves me without many super relevant references. I'll have to explain why the middle east is appropriate as a reference for Britain. Oh well. Today I just have to go to the grocery store and try to get some writing done on the proposal. Its due a week from Monday, but I'd like to have it in on Friday. Don't know if that will happen though. Well, here are the pics from the week. Talk to you later!
