It's Getting Hurricanatic Up in Here

We went to Caye Caulker last weekend for our long weekend off of work.  It was really beautiful, until it started raining.  It rained all 3 days we were there, and there was a lot of it!  There was apparently a tropical wave coming from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico so we all thought we were going to die on Friday night.  I was also sick on Saturday from being exhausted and dehydrated so I took the day to recuperate. I did have fun there though, but if I go back I'll definitely take more time there and plan to do more there.  Then on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I worked my 3 days in the lab.  At first I hated it, because I am not a fan of ceramic analysis, but luckily the 2nd day we had Dr. Linda Howie from the University of Western Ontario come and show us a new system for categorizing sherds based on function rather than flipping through hundreds of pages of a book that is terribly unorganized to find what type it is.  We had a lot of fun listening to music and joking around so it made the usually tedious lab work go by a lot faster.  I talked to a few people about different graduate programs, and I think I'll be applying to some programs in Canada, because they sound really amazing and the don't require a GRE score...YES PLEASE! Tomorrow I am going to the site core at Pacbitun which I am excited about, since that is the main hub creating all the excavations I've worked on.  Tonight we have lecture which will hopefully be quicker than the 2 hour one we had the other night, because I am super sleepy today and need to work on my field notes!  8 days and I leave Belize and I'm trying to have as much fun as possible before I leave, but it is difficult when everyday is filled with a ton of work and you just want to pass out in bed when you get back home aka our hotel room.  I miss the family a lot and can't wait to see them when I get home, but for now I will try to post again on Friday!
