Well, it's definitely spring. The period where you have to work the most and yet want to the very least. I'm looking back at all you fine folks who are done school and enjoying the thrills of staff training with envious eyes.
Missing the fort pops up at random times and places, like from the smell of my wool jacket in the rain. But at the same time, I'm contented and secure in the fact that I'm heading in a direction I want to go. (you'll hear the following in many posts to come I'm sure but...) I'm very much looking forward to after June 12th - the day my thesis is due. I then have a viva voce exam and some time to enjoy my new found friends and then it's off to Greece for 6 months. I have very little hope for continuing this upcoming year, but I think I should manage to be able to come back in 2008. My marks, though it depends on these last two, haven't been good enough as of yet to warrant admission into the classics faculty, but I could easily get into archaeology which is perfectly fine with me. It's really the funding (or lack of) that matters anyways.
So for now I am in a cycle of procrastination, reading, and writing. I'm not sure, but I _think_ procrastination is winning at the moment (seeing as I'm blogging rather than finishing the draft that needs to get done for tommorrow), but *meh*.

I guess I thought I'd best get you all caught up, and that's pretty much it.

I hear ya, babe. Summer last year was one of the hardest summers I've ever had - I had to sit in a library while the sun was shining beautifully outside...
