The joys of scholarship

Hah! Paper one is done AND I learned something. Davis writes, "“An excavation should be a dialogue, not a monologue…. An archaeologist must approach a site with a question, but should not seek a specific answer” (pg. 151). Is this perhaps an example of realia?

The other truth for today: As I was working on papers this afternoon, my mother turned to me and commented, “This coursework is grounding you in your new reality, isn’t it.” Not having made that revelation prior, I could only nod my head. My mom then said, “That man [Dr. Schuler] is smart.”
It’s true.

Well Ms. Overacheiver with one paper done...yes I would be talking about the one and only appendicitis which handicapped me for at least 2 days and I'm still on narcotic drugs, which I'm contemplating writing my paper on...or writing my paper while on them. that one would be interesting for Dr. Schuler to read. Or you could just write them for me, which would be much preferred. Glad to hear things are going well at home!
