well it's all over now. i am back home and finished at kampsville. I had a wonderful time. although it was the hardest thing i have ever done it was the best decision i could have made and i the best experience i could have had. the funny thing is that i kind of miss it already. but alas my brain gets no break because its onto reading for the Class i am TAing and studying up on my physical anthro so i can actually be of assistance.
now the trick is to use this experience and get into grad school and do something with my life.

Sleep When You're Dead
Updates!
1 more week! thank GOD! I am so ready to go home. I'm done with this place. We got our Final projects and started them "early" cuz our prof. Got sick so then the last lab was postponed. But surprise! she got better and now they are do the same day! FUCK THAT SHIT! its bad enough I've never done Plaeopathology then to have to do it twice without knowing if I have done it correctly. So this weekend I have to actually do extra work. I have to present on my final Project Monday or Tuesday (yeah they like to keep everything a mystery and don't tell us shit) and my Lab is due by the end of the day. Not happy. I just need to suck it up and do my best at the pathology cuz i have been putting it off and have done everything I can but that practically. Seriously this final project is like writing Jr. IS but in 2 weeks.
On a Happier note We went to the state museum today... It was kinda lame but that is because before we went there we got to see the repository and lab. That was SO cool. there was a blue whale spine just chill'n in the hall way. and a room full of taxidermy animals (reminded me of the one room i slept in on band camp) and a pig with 6 legs. and a TON of African art artifacts and it was just amazing.
On weds. this week was when I had a real adventure. An Australian and a Belgian came and showed us iSpace (the started putting the i before stuff before apple did). ISpace is a program for your computer and ipod/ipad that allows you to map sites. but its better than that. you just take a stylus (type of tool but kinda like a huge pen) and draw the lines and it just takes the points via GPS and you can make 3D images of your site. its is sooo cool. we even mapped the skeleton of a dog burial that we have here. it came out amazing. Anyway.... the first night they were here they saw us all at the bar on our computer and told us that we HAD to come out for their last night to party. So we did.... I was going to go for one drink. and i almost got away with it. But you see I was hanging out with the staff (which was way cool the arky's are cooler then the lab staff) and then went to talk to my friends for a bit. then they dissapered and the Australian came and talked to me and my friend Anne for awhile. then we went back and joined the staff. Well the Australian decided that he was going to try and get me drunk. fortunetly for me he was already kinda there so I was able to fool him but he bought me and Anne a drink and we were hanging out and all was cool. Then these "local" boys came in (some baseball team thing) and were trying to hang with Anne and I and we tried to get rid of them but then they sat down by us. Anyway they hit on Anne hard core which made her stay longer, which made me stay longer to watch out for her since we were like the only students left. She was totally drinking up their bull shit and loved it (don't let her lie to you). Anyway they were dumb and obnoxious and told me Anne was prettier than me.... yeah well thanks. Anyway I stayed at the bar until 1am when we got kicked out. It was crazy I was not happy the next morning. But it was super fun. Apparently the Europeans hit a deer on the way home and so they stayed a bit longer and came to say goodbye to Anne and I (we were the only students they say bye to personally ^.^)and I got my first European style goodbye aka kiss on both cheeks thing. I felt super cool. lol
That's my exciting story.
Oh and my t-shit design got pick along with the iSpace dog pic. But now its a pain in the as cuz the TA's are animal and shit and "things aren't aligned" and "it needs to be higher resolution" and everyone bounced after dinner and couldn't even be bothered to give shirt sizes. and I missed going to Harry Potter cuz I couldn't leave fast enough cuz of the damn shirt thing I had to fix. its just a bitch.
Anyway the other bar is now open so tonight we are going to play pool. and karaoke again tomorrow! I'm excited I got a new shirt that i'm going to wear.

'Chu Crazy Bitch!
yeah soooo the holiday weekend... ROCKED we did karaoke and I sang a lot and did a solo of Crazy Bitch it was a hit... >.< eeek. we had a cookout on the 4th which was really fun. Today was fieldtrip day to Cahokia and it was super fun I got sunburned which kinda sucks.
I've been kinda home sick lately and freaking out about Sr. IS and my lack of ideas for my paper. I just want to go home and see my friends and have a summer before i go back to school.
I'm also freaking out about future things like grad school and what the hell I am going to do. I'm so screwed.
I'm going to saver my last two weeks here though i love my Kampsville friends and I will miss them. Jake tells me everyday not to go back to Ohio. and my roommates want me to transfer to ASU. They have all seen the "wild" side of me cuz i wont be seeing them again so i just kinda don't care.
I want to go home so bad. We have started on our final projects we have to do a biological profile on two individuals an adult and a child. so that means we need to Sex, Age, and do a pathology assessment of each one (aka health). it will be kinda hard. Quizzes are over though! I didn't do well on any of them. but I have kinda accepted that this place makes me feel dumb. our final lab needs to happen yet but our prof. is sick so she hasn't been able to give the lecture on it. which isn't very helpful cuz its the paleopathology lab and we need to learn to do that before we can do our final projects.
Stay tuned for the final Chapters!
