wow

this has been quite a week that is for sure. i think i get married.... well no i didnt but there is a story. i was at work... and see one of the workers under me bought me this really nice shirt and came to the school to give it to me. he was dressed super nice had his hair done.... and it was just really nice. i felt kindof bad. there is talk that he might be fired for getting to close to the americans. and also his hair is longer... and that is frowned apon here. i feel kindof bad about that. but now some of the people in camp are giving me a hard time. one is calling me habibee... meaning beloved. and then one is making cat noises... it has been interesting. i like the shirt a lot though. but then... also more stories. i guess a man got apprehended on the tell yesterday. he was walking around somewhere near the area i was working at... we dont know who he is but he was picked up within 5 minutes. oh and... one of the workers today had a boulder fall on him. it has really been interesting. oh and this was cool... today after work. i was getting up about to get in the bus when a truck of workers came by and was like sarah.... and waved me in.... one of the area supervisors was like go. it is cool. this is the only place that i can just hop on the back of a truck and make it back. i like it. i ride in the back of a truck usually 2 times a day. on the way and on the way back from work.

ok... i think i am going to tell you exactly what happens in a typical work day.... ok i wake up at 4 am in the morning.... yeah i know early. we eat breakfast which consists of pita and something we call shimingy.... it is like a cream of wheat. my pita usually has jam on it at this meal... then i jump on the back of a truck and get to work by 5. we stand around and socialize with the workers till around 530-545. then we work. i have been uncovering a church floor. it has been kindof interesting and cool at times... but also boring. then there is at 930 a break for 2nd breakfast. this is usually cucumber... tomato.... hard boiled egg. and pita... if luck we get an orange. this time i put cheese on the pita. then we work again till 1245. jump in the truck at 1 and head back to camp. then lunch. big meal... can be anything. nice. then there is showers. nice time of the day... very very very cold. but oh well. nice still the same. we ran out of water on monday i believe. not fun. dirty. but then we can take a nap. and at 4 there is pottery reading and registry work to be done. once a week for everyone. my day is tuesday. then dinner at 6. registry can take 2-3 or even 4 hours depending. not fun. one night i was in there till 10. ouch. but then... we also have lectures. and other such stuff... and then if we are smart bed at 9-930. but that is my day. hope that was a good post
