First draft of Narnia map

[gmtaslash]

And so Trojie didst upload her first version of the map, and beg everyone's indulgence for the fact that a) Lantern Waste is off the page to the west, and that b) she has NO justification for why the Shribble is there except. well, how far can a giant owl with a child on its back fly, anyway? And for the fact that the Glasswater is so huge; it has to be, trust me, because it has to pass within fifteen miles of Aslan's How. Oh, and the scale at the bottom reads 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 miles.  I'm sorry it's so small.

Thank you :)

I *will* get round to it this weekend, I'm even working on it today, despite Google Scholar's uselessness...

Am glad to hear that, as today IS weekend. ;p Not that it makes much difference for me, as I have an exam in a few hours. But then it's over!

Am rambling. Sorry. When you have time, will you tell me what this proposal is actually about? I'm all curious.

Good luck with your exam!

I will be posting about the PhD proposal as soon as I have it straight in my head and my ideas approved by the supervisors, so sometime this week, I hope. I *can* tell you that it's on the morphometrics, taxonomy and evolution of the bivalve genus Spissatella :)

You may need to include a glossary, Madame Smart Person. ;p

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

morphometrics; mathmatical analysis of shape

taxonomy; the science that involves working out the what constitutes a species and how various species are related

evolution; the origin of new species through descent with modification

bivalve; a mollusc of the class Bivalvia; has two plate-like shells (valves). Examples; scallop, clam, mussel.

Spissatella; a NZ-only genus of said class Bivalvia

that help? :P

Well, I KNEW what "evolution" is, thank you (note the sarcasm). But the others... yes, it does. Thank you (note the sincerity).

Sarcasm and sincerity noted :) I just decided to go down the 'thorough' route :)

[sedri.livejournal.com]

;p Fair enough. You can never know how close or far we are from your level of expertise.

Indeed, particularly since my mother, whom I thought knew at least a bit about this sort of thing, gets a sort of glazed look in her eyes the moment I say the word 'statistics'...
