Well, this has been yet another boring week. Sorry :( Monday and Tuesday I worked on my dissertation and then Wednesday I returned to the Southampton library to finish up everything there. That about completes my data collection. I need to request one more book that Southampton had, but I didn't have time to get the data out of it as it had over 60 of the tools I'm looking at. So after I get that and finish the book that I have I'll be pretty much done. There are always more sites that I could look at, but I have over 500 tools catalogued so I should be able to do something statistical with the analysis. I also got a response from one of the museums that I emailed and the woman there will be meeting with the archaeology volunteers on Tuesday to talk to them about it and will get back to me then. So hopefully I can at least get to that museum to see some actual tools and look for cut marks and such.
Other than that I haven't been up to much. I decided that I wanted to listen to the Harry Potter books on tape. I looked them up online and they were like 70 pounds each! That was crazy, but then I thought of the local library. I'm a member but I never think to go there. So I looked at their catalogue and they had them! So I've gotten The Goblet of Fire and The Prisoner of Azkaban so far. So that's exciting. While I was there I also A Thousand Splendid Suns. I had enjoyed The Kite Runner so I decided to get that. It was a really good one. I would recommend it. The weird thing is that you have to pay for things at the library here. Books are free, but adult audio books are 1.50 and DVDs are 2.00. So that's strange. Children's audio books are free apparently though as I haven't had to pay for the Harry Potters.
Yesterday I went to Wetherspoons, the local pub, to study with a friend. It was morning so it was pretty dead and they have wifi there, so it was actually a really good place to study.
Friday I learned how to make Chinese BBQ ribs. Another friend left for her placement for 5 weeks on Saturday so we had her going away dinner on Friday. A few weeks ago Le made us ribs and they were delicious and we've been wanting to learn how to make them. So we decided this was the perfect opportunity. They were really good and pretty easy to make except that I burned some of them.....oops. They weren't too bad though. Then Le suggested that you can make chicken that way too, so I may try that sometime.
Well, I suppose that's about all for this week. Next week will be better as I leave for Cardiff, Wales tomorrow morning and will be back on Wednesday. Then on the 13th Sara gets here and we go to Italy for a week. When we get back my parents get here and stay for a week. So next week may be the last update for a couple weeks. I'll try to get something up here between went Sara and I get back on the 21 and when my parents get here on the 23rd, but no promises. I probably won't have Italy pics up until after the parents leave as there will be no time. But next week I'll have Wales pictures, so look forward to that :) Later!
