It's Friday Night!

Not really, it's Friday afternoon, but hey, it's night over on the east coast!

So I found out yesterday that if I want to graduate this spring (and believe me, I want to graduate this spring) I need to have my thesis finished by February. My response to this was, ".........hoo boy."

I finally went to the library today and picked up four books Dr. Lipo thinks are essential for my reading:

Cat Monsters and Head Pots: The Archaeology of Missouri's Pemiscot Bayou by Michael J. O'Brien
Pottery Analysis: A Sourcebook by Prudence M. Rice
The Emergence of Pottery: Technology and Innovation in Ancient Societies edited by William K. Barnett and John W. Hoopes
Science, Style and the Study of Community Structure: An Example from the Central Mississippi River Valley by Carl Lipo

And don't accuse him of having an agenda by having me read his book, the collection I'm doing my thesis on is the one he is writing about there, so it really is pretty vital that I read his version!!!

I have determined that I will spend all weekend reading with the exceptions of: eating, sleeping, watching the Gator game, watching the Vikings game (alas, I don't think I'll have time to watch the others), and working on Rebecca a little bit...oh and job hunting. I really need to get this job thing squared away, I'm starting to feel queasy when I think about money.

It was lovely being back in a library again though...I'd forgotten how much I love the smell of books, and the quiet only being interrupted by the scratching of pens on paper, and the clatter of keyboards. I could just sit down on the second floor in some obscure stack and just start reading. Talk about heaven!!
I was also on my way downstairs when I noticed a book called "A History of English and Irish Glass" and it took all my willpower to not take it out too, because I really don't have time to read for fun right now. But I have the call number and the title...one day, I will have time!!

Maybe I will go study in the library after all...there are no beds there that will call to me around the twelfth chapter and seduce me into falling asleep for four hours, waking up at 2 am and realizing my homework isn't done.

Oh, that just reminded me I haven't finished all of my remote sensing homework...I'd better get on that if I want to have a relaxing night!!
