A Clockwork Green

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:19:36 GMT

So, unfortunately (for the first time in a great while, if you think about it) I will not be able to make it to Dayton for Christmas. I'm really, really sad - I absolutely love our Christmases. It's always like having a second family Christmas to me (especially now with Colin there, too).

However, I still intend to have a presence there, so I came up with an idea.

Once we get it figured out when the Christmas occasion will be, I say we do some sort of webcam Christmas. If it works for monopoly, it should work for Christmas too, right?

So on that note, here is my approximate Christmas schedule.

December 19-23 Home with my family and Colin for my fam's Christmas.
December 24-30 Home in NY alone (Colin will be in MN).
December 31-? Home in MD for New Years.

Also, if you guys would let me know when your amazon lists are up and ready to go - I need to get an early start (at least with planning) so I can budget stuff. Christmas is gonna be tight this year.

Yours Truly,

Elizabeth T Green

Just wanted to let you all know, Chris and I have netflix now (finally). I have no idea how to see what is on other people's lists, but I assume one (or more) of you guys do. Help me, please. You all stay on top of good movies way better than I do.

No way, no, fierce, no, hot mess...

You know what is really sad? When the highlight of my entire academic year so far is the unparalleled sense of joy and wonderfulness I got from reading "Plant Domestication and the Shift to Agriculture in the Andes." Seriously, it was the most amazing thing I've read in grad school so far. I saved it to be the very last think I read tonight, and it felt SOOOOOO good to read something I'm actually interested in. Oh my god, so fucking good. I want to rub the paper all over my face and just luxuriate in its interestingness (at least to me). I could feel it soothing my broken soul/mind, that's how good it felt. I feel like I'm going to be rereading it throughout the rest of the semester to remind myself that there is something I still like about it all.

Just registered for the SAAs, which is the cool way of saying that I just paid for my addmitence to the Society for American Archaeology's annual conference, held this year in Vancouver BC.

Bitchin'.

I am now the owner of a four-month-old little calico/weird colored cat. Still deciding on names. Will post some pictures when I get back home and have access to my camera.

Colin just left about an hour ago. He is driving to Chicago tonight and then on to La Crosse tomorrow. To be a total girl, I just spent that hour crying my eyes out. My fucking eyelids are so swollen it looks like someone punched me in the face.

In total, he and I spent an entire month together. Tonight will be my first night sleeping alone since mid-december. It has been a fantastic month, and saying goodbye to him gets harder every time.

To sum up some of the more amazing points about the month we spent together:

1. Colin took me on a horse drawn carriage ride through downtown La Crosse's amazing Christmas light display. One of the most romantic evenings ever.
2. Meeting of relatives on both sides went very well. I especially love Colin's mother.
3. Trip to OH was more amazing than I can tell anyone. It meant so much to me to see everyone again and have such a wonderful time without being consumed by worry and stress.
4. Ice skating with Colin = wonderful.
5. Babylon 5 with Colin = wonderful.
6. One night for dinner Colin and I dressed up very fancy and slowly danced to music in my living room. He tried to teach me how to dip. I've never felt more beautiful than at that moment.

I miss him so much already. I am fighting the urge to go smell his pillow.

Colin and I (baring anything horrible) will be in OH on Friday, December 28th. Should anything change, you will of course be informed immediately.

Now I have to go write 13 pages in 5.5 hours. [sigh]

Christmas shopping is almost completely done. Fuck yeah. Just a few odds and ends left.

I know its kind of late in the day, but I'm going to blame it on my sickness (and fucking three and a half hours at the doctors office during TWO trips).

Happy 5th of November, everyone. Remember, remember.

A find it funny that "A Clockwork Orange" and "Singing in the Rain" are next to each other on Barnes and Noble.com, and under classic comedies, as well. I don't know that I'd call clockwork a comedy. But who knows.

Seriously though - next to "Singing in the Rain?" Amazing.

According to Dr. Tim McAndrews (my Bolivia professor) I am "now offically, a professional Andean archaeologist!" My presentation at the conference went very well on Saturday, and even though some of the questions I got threw me, I think I did a fair enough job. I've introduced myself to a bunch of prominant Andeanists, and gotten information on Pirque Alto out there. I have a geologist, a Formative period woman, and a metals guy very interested in the site. It's pretty sweet.

Now I just have to get through the following week, which equals two mid-terms, grading papers, grading an exam, regular class reading, and argument mapping. 11 days till I see Colin!

OMFG

The president of Bolivia was adorable on the Daily Show. You can still watch it on their website.

Graduate School

Sat, 01 Sep 2007 16:15:50 GMT

So, I wrapped up my first week of graduate school yesterday, and I'm here to tell you - its going to be impossible to have a life for at least the next year.

Monday
11:40-12something TA Organizational Meeting
2:20-3:20 ANTH 111 Lecture (which I am required to attend for my TA stuff)

Tuesday
8:30-9:30 AM Discussion group for ANTH 111 led by me
10:05-11:05 AM Discussion group led by me
4:25-6:30/7 PM History of Anthropology

Wednesday
8:30-11:30 AM Strategies in Archaeology
2:20-3:20 ANTH 111 Lecture

Thursday
1:00-4:0o PM Political Ecology
4:25-6:30/7 PM History of Anthropology

Friday
2:20-3:20 PM ANTH 111 Lecture

Now, at first glance it looks like a pretty easy schedule with tons of free time. And I suppose thats true. All I'm doing for work is being a TA, so in theory that would equal a lot of free time. But then... there is the reading. I have so much reading to do that I cannot even really explain it to you guys. After one week of class, we are already done with one book in History of Anthropology. And for next week, the totally amount of reading in pages that I have to do is somewhere around 250, give or take. Plus reading that I need to do for outside of class things for my advsior, as well as the French I need to review so that I can take my language proficiency test sometime this winter.

p.s. this is totally probably NOT going to happen because I have zero money right now - but what are you OH people doing on Wed Sept 12 through that Sunday? I have all that time off for Rosh Hashanna (tons o'jews here). I thought it would be a great time to drive down. Like I said - I have zero money so I doubt its going to happen, but what are you guys doing anyway?

I am also starting my complete and total feeling of denial... right... now.
