Today was a good day...
Yesterday was a really good day. I didn't get a lot of school stuff done, but that might be why it was so good. I started off the day by going to the mall on an epic quest to find jeans because I was in desperate need of more pants.
F, who is in all of my classes and just generally an awesome person, came with me. We had a really good time chatting away on the bus and then taking the mall by storm with ruthless efficiency. F is the best shopping companion. She has two sisters and really knows how to get through the shopping with the least amount of pain. She was happy to be shopping with someone like me who is not so wishy-washy and hard to please.
Things I learned from this trip - go to Old Navy. They had multiple styles which were flattering in my size (in the Women's section no less) that were only $20 a pair (on sale). I am no longer in need of jeans. :)
Then we came back to the Reading Room and did some work. I did the best kind of work there is - scanning pretty pictures of Egyptian Gods for my presentation on Monday. (More of that will be happening today.)
After that was a department seminar in which an adorable young Dutch professor from University of Ottawa talked about the reuse of Egyptian temples in the transition to Christianity. It was really interesting, and he got really cutely excited about things.
Also it was another Grad Student's Birthday yesterday so then we all went to the bar and had some drinks.
All in all a very good day - although now I really should be getting down to work (I have two presentations next week and one the week after) and stop posting on DW.
