My first find!!!

Ciao!

I would like to inform you all that I made my very first Archaeological discovery today!

I know it's blurry...sorry. But it's a piece of pottery, possibly Etruscan! It's most likely the rim of a vase! AHH!!! How exciting! Never thought a broken piece of clay could be so exciting, huh?! Yeah it is!!

Obviously, we worked in the field today! Not our field, though. There's an Italian guy, Claudio, who's helping us with our site, and basically we were loaned to him for a couple of days to help clean up his site. Oh well, it was fun because there were things like this everywhere, and it was so exciting to find them!

We started out pulling weeds, but then a girl named Caty and I got to work in a trench! It had already been dug, and basically, we were just clearing out all the loose dirt, but when we were done, Sylvia (our field manager) said we did an amazing job and showed it to the whole group and made them clap for us! It was pretty awesome!

I'm trying to post mo0re pictures but blogger is being dumb. And, all the instructions are in Italian, so I can't figure it out. I'm going to have to work on that when I have more time, because I have about three minutes left right now.

Anyway, very exciting day! I got hot and sweaty and dirty and slathered on sunscreen and got even more dirty and I couldn't be happier. I love it here.

Here at last!

Hey everyone!
I'm currently in Orvieto in an internet café so I thought I'd write a little bit about my trip thus far! I can't write much right now, though, because people are waiting on me...
Flights and meeting my group went smoothly, even though I was paranoid the whole time that something would go wrong. I met a girl at the airport. Her name is Katelynn (Not sure of exact spelling, but you get the idea!). She's really nice and came on the trip last year so she's showing me around a bit. I've also gotten to know my roomate, Haley (Ditto on the spelling.) and she seems cool, too. She spends a lot of time with her boyfriend, though. Katelynn's roomate, Lauren, is a lot of fun, too. And, she's an Anthropology major at OU and she loves Ewan McGregor! I'm pretty sure we were destined to meet! Haha!
That's all for now, cause I feel bad for making people wait, and there's not much else to talk about. We didn't go to the field today, so nothing too terribly exciting has happened. I'll be back soon, though, and hopefully with pictures!
Love you all!
