My Canadian roommate has left now... I gave her a little card, but I didn't actually see her before she left. She left behind a chocolate jelly-roll sort of thing and a little note in the fridge. She bequeathed me all her shelf space, too, hurray! Still, though, I liked Claire. She was my favourite flatmate, being as she was both Canadian (from Ottawa, even, which everybody knows is like a big Fredericton ^-^) and an archaeologist. We'd have occasional long conversations about archaeology stuff and departmental gossip in the kitchen... It was fun. Also, I horribly envy her ability to leave for home already, but the Prehistory MA was set up quite differently. They didn't have to do any excavation. They also got John Barret, and from being on various fieldtrips with him, I can imagine that would have been quite a life experience ^-^. Anyway, now I'm going to have some lunch, do a few more e-mails, and start another pirate book. And maybe I'll go to the library and/or the park this afternoon and do a little picnic thing, hmmm...
