I think that is all... really that is a lot of stuff though.

Anyway I'd best be off I f I actually want to be able to do it all ... *sigh*

I have a few minutes before we go to lunch, in theory, so I thought I would take a moment to collect some thoughts about what I need to do in my e-mails.

I want to find a way to connect a more human element to a landscape survey - the history will definitelly help with this, and I do think it is exciting. I am definitely more interested in the 1500-1800 period, especially as there has been so much work done on the enclosed docks. Maybe also investigating the effects of the explansion of the British empire on the international influence on the areas, etc? I don't know, but the effects of colonialism are interesting, also... identity identity identity! Damnit! I want to get a better idea of who the people were, and how they thought of themselves. Landscape is definitely influential in this, as is material culture... So how do I bring this all together and write both extra thesis chapters *and* an amazing proposal before April? :/ I'll manage somehow. Blargh. Money is also an issue...

As for A&M, I need to tell them to yes please put my name in the hat for an INA Scholarship!

Rar.

I guess that is just about it for now. Lunch soon! So hungry ;_;

Muuuuch later:
I have sent e-mails and so forth, and am going to work on chapter revisions for a bit before I head off to listen to the lecture on people in Ireland! And then I will return and eat dinner, and work more, yay!?!

So, I went to the Irish lecture tonight with full intent f learning and being responsible and coming home, having diner, and doing thesis work.

Instead I was waylaid by a pomengranate martini Kim, and wound up at the Starlite for three hours, fisrst sitting out in the wind and talking to peeps, and later sitting inside and listening to a lady with a guitar sing Irish music, which was ostensibly the reason we'd gone. It was too packed to get inside seat when we initially arrived though, thus the outsideness. And I just got home. Well, okay, I just got home and read lj, and am now writing this.

Anyway, it was a good night, but probably it was not my best choice for what I could have done with my evening. I expect that the weekend will be pretty much a write-off for working, what with the Seabiscuits and Bitters night, the dancing for kids (I need to burn my music and familiarize myself with it more still, too), and, oh, also the marking ~50 undergrad exams that I'd completely forgotten about -_- Oh, and also the other Irish archaeology seminars tomorrow.

*sigh*

And oh, those of you who are very clever might have noticed that I accidentally drank my dinner tonight, nevermind that I didn't really have the money for a single martini, especially at the Starlite. It was good though, so, I guess that'll have to be my compensation.

I regret little, but I am going to bed ;)
