(no subject)
I haven't written anything in quite a while. Sorry it's been a while since i've really had time to sit down and check my email without being rushed. Or well.. really this is the second time i've checked my email since I've last written in here I think.
The dig just kinda took off and my afternoons were filled with sleep or work or some halfassed attempt at both. Greece is fabulous. What can I say this country is absolutely amazing. I had to walk home from site one day and I got three, or actually, four people that stopped and offered me rides. I couldn't accept any of them as I was in a fair bit of trouble at the time. Speaking of which, the source of the trouble was me having my cell phone stolen at 5am under.. well rather questionable conditions. I was fine, but when the asshole that stole the phone called my prof. at 5am... he was not. Understandably so, I was in a bit of a predicament. Either way, I made it out alright. Have fully recovered from my dumbass mistake with only the loss of my mobile and some cash.
Hrm, lets see. Been going out to group meals lately which have been a lot of fun. Greeks do like interesting meal courses. First you get bread, then horiatiki (greek salad), then saganaki (fried cheese), then fries, then your main course and sometimes fruit after. It's fun. I've been so insanely busy doing post-excavation work these last few days (IE: Monday and Today) and going out for big dinners in the evenings that I haven't had time to pack (I leave tommorow) or think much about when I'm leaving. Over the weekend I was chilling out (which I kind of regret now) and everyone else was leaving so it was a bit lonely for a little while. Although I did get to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith over the weekend which was AMAZING. Oh Angelina... *sigh*
Anyway, I leave here tommorow after noon, my flight leaves in the evening. I have an unexpected overnight stay in Charles De Gaul (Paris)... fuck me. I need to be more careful on things I spend hundreds of dollars on that are impossible to change. Then I get back to the states around 10am Thursday. Woot! I plan to go on a crazy visiting/having people visit me spree because I miss everyone dearly and the AC is actually working in my car. I think once I see gas prices that may change to just convincing Meghan to have everyone over and talking people into going there. But we'll see. I still have a few postcards for people, which... I've been meaning to send for.. ohh two weeks now (see I am busy!) Anyway, the more I sit here talking about the states and how much i miss everyone the more I do so I'm going to go shower and get ready to go into Nafplio.
I'll talk to you/see you all very very soon!
