| 2:36 pm | Hrm I am in the middle of applying to do an MA in Landscape Archaeology next year. If I don't do an MA in Arch now, I'll never do it. This is so messing up all of these rock solid plans I had for my life and at least the next 2 years of what I'm actually going to be doing. I wonder if the PGCE people will let me defer. Really, someone tell me what the fuck I'm up to? | ||||||||||||||

| 10:03 pm | lalala Just watched the last ever episode of friends. It was mightily bizarre. I'm glad they got Ross and Rachel together again. If they hadn't have done, I'd have done it in my head anyway :P Off to watch big brother. The sounds gone mad. They've got rid of the chickens and the weekly tasks. Which is a bit disappointing if you ask me. And now I'm finally leaving Bristol and archaeology, I've decided I really like it and I wish I'd applied to do an MA. Bah | ||||||||||||||

| 6:31 pm | Dig Diary :P Spent most of the morning wandering around Wells looking for somewhere which sold draft paper so we could draw the stupid walls. But after finding the art supply shop and being told that they didn't have any we gave up and just bought graph paper. Which means that those people drawing are going to have to trace the whole thing onto the draft paper when we get it tomorrow :P You'd have thought the department could have actually furnished us with some :P and they now owe me £8.72 :P (Warning - bioarchaeological ramble coming up :P) Adam found a femoral head lying on the suface of the soil in one of the flower beds. In the scheduled area which we aren't actually supposed to poke around in but he was in there to get measurements for the technical drawing. Anyway, it was brought to me because I turned out to be the person who knew most about bones on the site :P Except my area of knowledge is just crania, and not post crania so i couldn't really tell that much about it ;) The bone fragment was, *I think*, a partially fused proximal epiphysis of a human femur (ooh get me with my big words). It is definately large enough and the right shape to be human, but if it's unfused then it means it's a juvenile in which case it may be too big. But i don't know anything about epiphyseal fusion rates in the post crania, so it might not actually start to fuse until you're 18 anyway in which case the size wouldn't make any difference. But our head of department wasn't actually there today so we were running ourselves so no one from the department officially knows about it yet. Not that he'd know what the bone was anyway; when he came and poked about in our bones lecture once he picked up a humerus (from you arm) and declared that the person it belonged to must have been very small because it was one of the smallest femurs (bone in your thigh) he'd ever seen. He really should talk less. Aaaaaanyway, although it would be kind of cool to find a skelly on the site, it may mess up the rest of the dig if they try and close us down because you need tons of offical paperwork to dig on a site with human remains. All of which would take at least 6 weeks to get hold of, if they even gave it to us. And besides they wouldn't let any of us scabby undergrads on a site with skellies anyway :P Translation ;) -> we may have found a bit of a human hip bone (the ball socket) where we shouldn't have been looking, and which could get the site closed down. | ||||||||||||||

| 6:52 pm | Wheeeee! The Dig started today at the Bishop's Palace in Wells It's *the* most laid back dig I have ever been on. Our head of department (also the dig supervisor) didn't turn up until quarter to 11, so we couldn't start working until then. Then he decided to take us on a tour of the palace and the cathedral next door to it which took up the rest of the morning and a little bit more. Then an hour's break for lunch ;) We didn't actually start working on the site until 2:30 and even then I was just doing magnetrometry and resistivity surveys, so no actual hard labour (although i did have to climb inside a hedge to put some markers down [fuzzocking in the flowerbeds]). And Mark was trying to get us to take off our bras because the underwiring was going to mess up the readings... and we politely declined to do so, although after that he didn't seem to stop talking about bras all afternoon. And then i made a sign to try and stop stupid people from walking into the dig site and falling in the trench. Moved a few buckets of gravel about, mattocked a bit, shovelled a bit. And then home at 4 ;) Nice :D Current Mood:  content

| 6:51 pm | Balloon Monkeys in Balloon Palm Trees Thursday morning: realised I was in London and was supposed to be at the Archaeology leavers party that night, and a) had not yet bought a ticket for it, b) the train i was booked on to go back got me into Bristol nearly 2 hours after the party had started, and c) it was too late to change my mind about going as I'd already promised Mary that she could stay over after so she didn't have to drive back. Rargh! But i still made it :P Can't keep me away from a party that easily :P Was v pleased that I did go in the end as it was muchly fun. Drank lots of free punch and got very tipsy :D Then then then the balloon man came and I made him make me a balloon monkey in a tree :DDDD (which is the best ever) See the monkey? How cute is that?  And he taught us how to spin plates, and now I can spin plates. *with both hands*. And even the balloon man said he couldn't do that. It is my new life skill; i shall put it on my CV. I'm sure it'll secure me a job. Asked Richard where he gets his cool plastic jewellery from, and that I had always been envious of this rainbow bead necklace he has and he told me that I could have the necklace :D (and bless him he brought it in for me the next day, so I now own it :D) Then we went onto a bar, Mary and I discovered we have practically the same taste in men (well mostly one particular man *drools*), and i had remained uninjured until we left. andthenifelloverwiththeballoonmonkeyinmy We had our dig briefing the following day at 10, which i think was just cruelness on the part of the archaeology department. But. I. Will. Never. Have. To. See. That. Idiotic. Safety. In. Archaeology. Video. Again. | ||||||||||||||

| 9:33 am | lalalala I can never come up with subjects for these things, and i may be in danger of making them relevant to the post. Which. Would. Be. A. Shame. *pauses* I. Like. Full. Stops. so yesterday we decided to go up to Cribbs and shop :> Most of Bristol seems to shut down totally on a Sunday and this is scary and weird (maybe I'm just used to living near London where everything seems to be open non-stop, despite scary trading laws)and the only shops that are open are in the mall doofer thingy on the edge of the city. And I Saw The Best T-Shirt In The World. Which if i was a man, or a lesbian I would now own and be wearing. Was quite tempted to get it anyway depsite my lack of a penis or lesbian tendencies. But didn't actually buy it in the end. Just some nice new knickers :D AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. We missed the last bus back.... by one minute. The bus driver saw us but didn't bother to wait because quite clearly he is a fuckwit. So we sat in the beer garden of the pub and waited for our rip off taxi to pick us up instead. But pub was fun and twas such a nice evening I didn't really mind :P | ||||||||||||||

| 1:54 am | Brummingham... Chris and I went to Birmingham for lovely weekend. It has been in the pipeline for ages, and it finally happened. Yay! Anyway, I am far too lazy to type up what happened, so am just going to copy and paste bits from Chris's post, and add a few comments in along the way ;) Am sure he will tell me off, but ner :P "So... At about 11pm on Thursday, Hayley came down with her frequent problem of stomach pains (caused by gall stones)." Something I've inherited from my grandfather :P "These pains usually fully dissolve within about 2 hours or so, but these continued through the night, and were still not away by 10am meaning she had next to no sleep. She phoned the doctor, we went down, he was no use whatsoever and prescribed pointless drugs and was rude at the same time, but he said go to A&E; if nothing improves. Fine. I hope things get better. They did not, however. So off we went to the A&E; at Birmingham City Hospital. *6 HOURS*. Yes, you heard me right, 6 LONG LABORIOUS IRRITATING HOURS, with nothing but a grubby TV showing the war and two rotating CCTV images. Oh, but 4 hours in, we actually got moved from the waiting rooms to an exceptionally warm room, doubling-up as a cubicle." He neglects to mention the information screen thingy continuously playing it's demo. I could have smashed the thing to pieces. It seemed so pleased with itself that it could scroll text. "Half an hour later, a doctor appears and offers an injection. 15 minutes later it arrives. 1 hour later on, no change, but no doctor checking up. I go pester, she finally reappears and prescribes something else." By this time I had been in immense pain for over 21 hours. I had had less than 3 hours sleep (frankly a mircale i had had any at all) and had been waiting in A&E; for nearly 5 hours. "15 minutes later, the treatment comes. We need to be back at the hotel by 11pm otherwise we're locked out, and no-one comes to see us before 10pm. I go pester again, get shrugged off being told that we need to wait for the doctor to see if any progress has been made. Hayley goes and discharges herself "against medical advice". Well, if it didn't take you 6 hours to administer 2 sets of drugs, then maybe we wouldn't have needed to." I really had little choice. It was either stay, get checked by the doctor, then have no where to sleep that night, or go back to the hotel and pray that the drugs worked. "The NHS is falling to pot. The 'waiting time' poster in the main A&E; waiting room has "___ HOURS". What else need I say. ANYWAY. The second drugs seemed to work, and today we went to Cadbury World, and had a good look round. I was carrying both our suitcase and my briefcase through the place, dodging various brownie groups. We got 3 different free bars (a Dairy Milk, Crunchie and a Wispa)" Actually Chrstopher we had *4* different ones :P We had a caramel too :D "and got to try liquid chocolate. The packing room smelt of dairy milk, it was lovely :) However. We move on past the liquid chocolate bit, tried some other samples, and we went to this strange room with sounds activated by jumping on tiles. Very noisy, but suddenly a siren went off. We weren't sure whether this was another sound so we just stood there for a sec. IN THE INTERESTS OF FIRE SAFETY, PLEASE LEAVE BY THE NEAREST FIRE EXIT *whine* I have lugged around this luggage all day, and now I need to filter out through some small fire doors, only to stand outside for quarter of an hour. So we all moved outside and waited for any news. Nothing came, the sirens went off, and we went back in. It was a really nice day there, I bought about 20 quids worth of chocolate in various forms ("Cadbury Misshapes" x 2 - chocolate which they can't sell otherwise, "Twirl" x 500g x 2 and lots of Cookies x 3). We then went off to the Sealife Centre whch was a nice rest and a calming thing to do for a few hours, then we trundled around Birmingham city centre for a bit, then got the train home!" You can tell that Chris was more interested in the chocolate than the Sealife Centre ;) They had otters there and they were really cute :D And they gave us free tickets to go back (the Sealife Center - not the otters ;P) because they were supposed to have sea turtles there but they hadn't arrived yet. So we have two free tickets which need using by the end of June ;) Anyway, yes. It was all okay in the end, but Friday was such a massive waste of time :/ and i still feel really guilty about it :P | ||||||||||||||

| 5:39 pm | The moon is called Frank Woo, got back from weekend in Brighton yesterday. Was for surprise meal for Pookysamkins for his birfday which was last week :P Had lovely meal at lovely restaurant called Donatello's, and it was cheap, which is always good (£10 for 3 courses). Plus, Sam's parents bought the wine which made everything a whole lot cheaper :D Then went back to his house and had champagne and cake (except i didn't eat the cake - fruitcake *yuck*). Then we named the moon Frank, because we thought it was sad that it didn't have a proper name and had so far spent it's life being called a generic name. SO WE CALLED IT FRANK (spread the word). And we came up with an idea to solve the problem of global warming and make a profit from it. We are going to sell buckets and make it's everyone's duty to fill a bucket full of water and put it in their freezers, to conuteract the rising sea-level :D It all seemed like such a good idea at the time. | ||||||||||||||

| 1:24 am | I am alive and bored out of my head. I have bought herbs in pots and now they are on the windowsill in the kitchen. Any bets to how long they are going to last? I bought them a week ago and have nearly killed two of them already. *bows* | ||||||||||||||
