busy busy

funny how even after 3 days at home, i still can't shake the feeling that there's not enough time left. i took most of a week off to do the research for my final paper (since there was no human way to fit it into my already hectic schedule), and while it's moving along, i also feel like i'm standing still. i've got all the books i need (except one, which i may or may not be able to get my hands on), i'm working my through them, but it's slow, painstaking work. now i remember why archaeology wasn't my chosen field - too many details, too much nitpicking over this material or the shape of that eyebrow. yarg.
