Fall has fallen
Sep. 23rd, 2020 02:58 pmI went outside today (just for a few moments, don't worry, I wasn't exposed to that much fresh air) to check for mail and discovered that overnight all the trees had turned bright colours and so had my now leaf-covered lawn.
As there was no mail, I scuttled back inside, hissing.
It's also a lovely rainy day today which made the trees really stand out.
Some school problems, they changed the journal package on my professor which means that we don't have access to one of the articles for our Advanced Archaeology Method and Theory class that we were going to discuss and the library weeded out that issue. So now she's on a quest to get it from an interlibrary loan.
She has indicated she would strongly prefer I not just simply buy the article. My wallet thanks her. I wish we had a more expansive online catalogue though. To get an article on the newly discovered h. species (Homo luzonensis), I had to use a friend with a More Prestigious University. I just could not access it from my own!
And neither could my archaeology professor of the time who I passed the article onto from there.
I'm enjoying this course though. Even with the reduced amount of access, I still have an amazing amount of resources at my disposal but I've never been sure where to start to educate myself further. A while back I had to teach myself a lot about underwater archaeology pretty quickly for a story (sidenote: getting the link to this story made me realize I need to re-organize the links on my personal site) and while I think it came out pretty good I spent it thinking 'gosh, this is SO much easier when I have a focused topic to search for instead of 'all of archaeology ever''
Which is to say, I appreciate the guidance.
We're starting with the history of American Archaeology and there is an amazing amount of slapfighting going on.
