I seem (perhaps foolishly) to have volunteered to do one of the presentations for next Tuesday's Topography and Monuments of Athens class.
30 mins on the Monument of the Eponymous Heroes - of which I currently know very little.
At least my prof has given me some good starting points.
Also I'm still chugging away at my SSHRC application, doing readings and generally pretending I know what I'm doing.
I find it helps to hang out in the reading room - where all us grad students have our desks - because then I feel all scholarly like (even when I'm checking in on DW and LJ instead of reading articles etc).
This was more difficult this past weekend because my key fob wasn't working. But apparently the computer magically changed it so that it's our ID cards which let us into the room. Yeah. The new student cards have chips in them and ours let us into the building and the reading room. So I'm totally giving back the fob and getting my $20 deposit back. Also it would have been really nice if the university had told our key tech person who was setting us up with keys.
