Well here I am in Italy and all I can think about is root beer! They dont have anything like that here. Its kind of sad really. I knew they had none but it didn't hit til I sat down and had to get an ORANGE FANTA!!!! It was a little gross because it was warm too. Oh well. Anyways, I got here on tuesday morning, it was hot and sweaty in the naples airport but I was able to make it from the airport to the train station without any trouble. Then I got tired. To any of you thinking of making this trip um well bring less then I did. Trust me you will be ultimately happier.
After the train station in Naples I made it to the little train station in Pollena Trocchia, only to realize to my dismay that I still had to WALK for like another half mile to get to the little house we were staying in. I was so tired that the professor I was meeting finally made it down to meet me part way and help me get my stuff up all the way. I proceeded to unpack and recover. All in all it was actually really fun! I was really proud of myself that I made it as far as I had on my own. I really was pretty happy with it. So yeah! The rest of the week was filled with excavation of our site. I will describe that in more detail when I have pictures because I cant do it justice. Needless to say it is pretty amazing and it promises to get even better. Now if only I can learn more italian so I can actually speak with the other students instead of relying on grunts and hand motions it will be great.
There was a huge concert right outside of our apartment last night and this lady was so animated and funny in her dancing it was really cool.
Well I miss you all! I will write again soon. It is hard to get internet here so I will try to figure something out. Be sure to write to me!
Love you all

one week to go
So here I am one week left until I leave for Europe. I was sitting up talking to Kira about everything I have to do and I almost started to cry. I was so overwhelmed but I think it helped to talk it out and then sleep on it. I feel a lot better. It will be so much fun!!!!! I cant wait to leave. To all of my friends be sure to post things on my wall and let me know what is going on in all of you lives, and remember that I love you all!!!

Archaeology
This is what archaeology looks like. Most of the time you bend over into a big hole and scrape away at the dirt for hours at a time
Not archaeology
This picture is from last summer in St. George. Sometimes we loose our minds in the sun and think we are pirates for awhile, I myself went through multiple-personality disorder. I thought I was a pirate, tinkerbell, an indian and we had fights with Russian cosmonauts. Yeah, I lost my mind.
