So the picture thing has been sorted out. Turns out I needed to copy the link to the actual picture, not just the link to the page it was on. Who knew? But anyway, now that I know that, here are some of my highlights from the weekend. At Hippos. There was a random chair [...]
Once again, I’m sorry for the delay. Here’s the video of the square I took on Saturday. To be honest, I feel kind of bad for posting it, because it’s already changed so much. The Square Sadly, the pictures are still being a little bit stupid, so those will have to wait a little bit [...]
Sorry I didn’t post any of the pictures or video last night. Facebook was being stupid and not letting me upload them, so I couldn’t post them here (in order to post them they have to be from another website — I can’t just upload a file) and I couldn’t remember the password for the [...]
We had our half day today. And yes, I took video. I took two actually. One is from the site, one is a walk-around of my room. The one from the site is short and I didn’t actually say anything, it was just a real quick view of the area I’m working in — because [...]
Not a whole lot to talk about at this point. Normal routine of getting up and going out at way crazy hours of the morning. The one thing that’s different is that since tomorrow is the Sabbath, lunch was moved 45 minutes early so that everyone could get moved through faster. So now we’re just [...]
Mostly we all just laid around for the early afternoon. It was too hot to do much else. Then we went back out to the site around 4:00. We shot our first “real” elevation today — we had done one a day or two ago just to get a general idea of how high we [...]
I was basically playing Lawrence of Arabia this morning. We got up and it was already super hot. Then the wind started. It was probably going at least 20 miles per hour. It was really bad. We could only face upwind for about 30 seconds before having to turn around to get dirt/sand out of [...]
We didn’t have any pottery washing today, because apparently the plans changed and we aren’t keeping anything from the contamination layer (the 10cm we have to go down). So that was an extra ten or fifteen minutes I wasn’t expecting to have. Then I ended up going down to the pool for an hour or [...]
These stupid gnats are going to kill me. The end. Really though, they’re everywhere. I’m killing at least five every time I clap my hands. So far the only place I’ve found where they’re tolerable for more than a few minutes is right outside my room — but no internet access there. What I did [...]
I would love to be able to say that I spent the afternoon being amazingly productive/doing something fun like go down to the pool/etc. I probably could say that and get away with it. But…. I basically slept all afternoon. I went to sleep around 2:00 p.m. after setting my alarm for 4:30 p.m. I [...]
