So here is the list of things I did today...

-woke up at 8
-breakfast and internets!
-look over the 10 page conservation report I wrote last night (lots of pictures ;)
-make sure I understand everything they want from me today for artifact lookin' at
-write a cover letter, email it, and then find a stupidly cheap internet cafe to get it printed at ($1 an hour :o)
-taxi to AMMC
-talk to the AMMc ladies, which includes...
--confirming that my report is what they wanted (it was)
--going over the field catalog I sent them
--getting soil charts!
--looking through some of the Stuff to explain my system
--using said soil charts to get colours for my soil
--deacessioning said soil (i.e binning it)
--getting my letter! And having to get it redone because it said I had human remains, which I don't this year. Or last year, it turns out :p
--getting a ride back to the Hotel
--lunch in my room, and an old episode of House
--remembering I'd forgotten to get the check sorted out -_-
--trying to call, and then emailing my contact with the hopes of sorting it tomorrow
--catching a bus downtown and then heading up to the archives
--finding out that I'd messed up my photocopy requests, and having to sort that out
--getting a call at the archives from my contact trying to help me sort stuff out for the check
--only finishing one roll :(
--walking back to the AMMC from the archives (it is basically on the way)
--stopping on the way to write a letter (I was very careful with my handwriting, to make it legible ^-^) explaining what happened with the checks for the accounts department
--getting my AMMC contact to sign off on the letter, and giving it to the accounts people, who are gong to mail me a draft, i assume to school, since that is the address they have)
--walking back towards my hotel, realizing it was 6 and everything was closed/closing.
--Stopping in at a bar I've been to in previous visits to see if their kitchen was open, and staying to have a drink - a very much improvised Dark and Stormy, though the bartender/owner was amused that I knew what they were but had never been to Bermuda, where Goslings (the official D&S rum) is from.
--being offered free food (cornbeef and rice, omg sooo goood @_@)! Hanging out with some locals of dubious character ;) It is the sort of place where you get buzzed in to, and everyone knows everyone else, and they just get given food from the kitchen, and one guy I was talking towouldn't/coudln't tell me what he does for a living.... ;p
--coming back to my hotel and watching the end of an NCIS episode, blaming Heather.
--Internets!

And that was my day, so far! I still feel like I'm missing something in there, too...
