I had a really fun time traipsing through the snow and then skidding downhill across the ice to get to the library (for serious). I really wanted to go to the park and walk around, but alas, I had no time. My time at the library was nice, though. I located most of the books I needed and found a quiet corner to look through them. Sheffield has 3 (or maybe more) libraries, and each department has most of their books in just one. (No one tells you this when you arrive, however — you just have to figure it out. My discovery of this is another story for another time.) The archaeology dept. uses Western Bank library, which is kind of old and decrepit, but I prefer it to the Information Commons — a huge, sterile, metal, overcrowded complex that's the main library. I stayed at Wester Bank until dark, and then walked carefully back up the hill. I managed to not fall on my face on the way home, which was nice. I went the The Edge for hot chocolate, and now I'm home. I think there's Finnish cheese sampling going on in the kitchen right now, so I'll end this here.
I still need to tell you all about Bath and Stonehenge, but I'm not sure when that's going to happen, since I'm so busy. Maybe on the 8th of December I'll write about it. All my essays are due the 6th, then I have a day-long field trip for my prehistoric Britain class on the 7th. So the 8th will be my first "free" day. Looking forward to it!!!
Bye!
