I do have an essay due for Carl on Tuesday,. good thing I started that book this afternoon, eh? It is, of course, a book review. I figured that it would be. it seems that this course is going to be structured fairly similarly to his course last term, only without the lectures. It is *all* discussions. Which is fine. I do good in discussions. I am a star! a 95% in discussions last term kind of star, even ^-^ Steve commented that ten books seems like a heavy load. I have realized that History courses here equate with 'tonnes and tonnes of reading'. Between my two history course last term I read, lets see....16 books, not including the ones for my essays. This term, I am taking two arch courses, with three books each, which is still less reading than last term, all together. Yeek!

I just got back from my arch methods class with Dr. Ewen. I think it will be good. He is a good lecturer, which rounds out my assessment of a 'good prof' in general. The class is mixed, with grads and undergrads, but different workloads. We have to see thought a project this term, from start to write up. A small one, but still... to be honest, this is the first time I've really done somethign like this, and it is exactly the reason I didn't feel ready to do a PHD. So, I'm quite looking forward to it :) I hope it will be interesting! We are also going to be using a training CD called Revealing Archaeology. I have ordered mine, but only recently, so it should be in by the end of the week or so, I hope. Then I will have to let you know if it is useful or annoying. But Dr. Ewen says that it does have good introductory material, at least, and the devellopers are *very* helpful. I mention this for those of you out there who may teach introductory archaeology courses ;) I'll review it more once I've got it :)

...I had more to say, but it has suddenly evaporated, hrm... Ahh well.

P.S. Sometimes, I forget to put on music until I am filling out the semagic forms and it asks for current music. This was one of those times. Rah!
