hawkwing_lbI'm heading off very very early tomorrow morning to Greece.
There are a number of things I'm worried about, and a number of things I have to do while I'm there. For my own research, I'm trying to get permission to look at archives from the EFA, and from the Archaeological Society as well. (Advice, dear internets, on convincing the nice Greek people to let me look at their archaeological reports?)
The other thing I absolutely must do is accomplish what my postgrad handbook instructs me to do by mid-April:
1. A draft chapter of between 8,000 and 10,000 words. This chapter should display the
levels of research, critical analysis and originality commensurate with research at
doctoral level. It should not merely be a general account of the topic, nor an
introduction.
2. A detailed plan of work for the following year. This research plan should be
approximately 1,000 words long.
#1 rather terrifies me. Critical analysis! Originality! Eeeep!
(Yes, I knew coming in I need to accomplish this. It doesn't make it any less terrifying in practice.)
Also, by Wednesday night, I need to revise my FAoD yet again.
So. If I am screamy and scattered? Be a little patient with me.
Now, I'm going to spend the next four hours playing Skyrim, since it's the last chance I'll get.

Also, are you staying at the IHHSA? Who's the Assistant Director? Wow I just learned Prof. John Dillon is no longer the director. I need to get with the times. The Assistant Directors tend to be pretty helpful. Plus they have the added advantage of knowing people. So get them to give you the low down on how to go about it.
Also email Christine and ask her how to/ beg letter.
If all else fails have a frappe. Meso gluco, Ochi gala, and a pita gyros. Oh an a kaiser beer in that nice bar down in Exarcia Square. God I miss greece.
I'm coming with you next time.
