Settling in

I've got a few minutes to actually sit down at a computer, so I thought I'd make an update

What book do you need? I may have it.

I'm looking for Matthew Johnson's Archaeological Theory: An Introduction. I can order it through the bookstore but it would take about a week, and it seems really weird that the professor would recommend that anyone without a background in arch theory start reading this as soon as possible, but not make it available at the bookstore or the library. Especially since the class is mandatory for all anthropology grad students, and I can't be the only one coming from a different branch of anthropology who doesn't have much archaeology training.

Argh.

It sounds like all in all things are going well. I'm sure you'll be meeting people left and right in the coming months and the isolation will pass.

*hugs* I'm really gonna miss having you at the Belmont house though. Somehow is seems a bit empty now.

[the_luna_nymph]

Hugs, yay!

I'm going to miss you guys muchly as well. But I'm *really* glad that being here doesn't feel like a mistake.

If it hadn't been for the sand dunes on the playa this year, I bet we all would've biked more... Those of us what had bikes they could remove from the rack at least. ;)

[the_luna_nymph]

Fuck those sand dunes! The only places I could bike were the roads that were watered down regularly.

So you never got your bike off the rack? Well, on the bright side, of all the years to have your bike stuck, it probably made the least difference this time.

[ladykalessia]

That is *exactly* what I kept telling myself both weeks. Thankfully they didn't pick up all the green bikes immediately, so we had those to ride around on after the event. (Seriously though, it was *impossible* to get one to ride until after! WTF people!)

Yay bikes! Glad to hear you're settling in happily.

[the_luna_nymph]

I am! And yes, yay bikes! This is really the first time outside of Burning Man that I've used it for any length of time. I'm really enjoying myself :)

Bikes are awesome! They also do awesome things to your butt.

I mean, as in they tone it. Not like they vibrate or something. Unless you ride across those funny little yellow textured mat things they have at some intersections, but that's usually more startling than awesome.

[the_luna_nymph]

*giggle*

Cobblestones create a similar effect. Some of the streets on campus have cobblestones. I agree about the startling.

Right now it's doing painful things to my butt. Not just the muscles either; I need a better seat (or, actually, a better bike. but as I'm now a starving grad student, that's just kinda too bad.)

Miss you!

[the_luna_nymph]

*snuggle*

miss you too. see, you should have let me drug you and shove you into the trunk.
