yes... i am still going to post

i will still post. they will and are a lot more scattered at the moment. i still havent finished all the jordan stuff. so that is consuming most of my time. i am having to write papers for classes that should of finished in august... so time is kindof pressed. i will try to start updating once a week. at least.

everything is going decently here. the school year is well underway. fall break is just around the corner. i am hoping to finish a few papers by then, but part of me doubts that that will actually happen. we will see though. but honestly.. i would love to write more now... but i have business law homework that i didnt get done last night... so i need to concentrate on that.... i will post later though.

long.... loooonng time

hey guys i am sorry it has taken me so long to write again.... but it as been a busy few weeks... still is. so how is everyone doing? i really dont know what to say... i have stuff to do.... so i just want to know if people are still reading... so are you? please comment

well...

it is amazing how much time matters in this life. here i am sitting in my chair thinking about all the crap i have to get done and how fast i need to do it. it is impossible. i have to read a book in a couple of days... ill get it done... but it will be close. i am way tired and am finding it hard to motivate... but it will get done... i have several papers that i still need to write... those will get incompletes most likely... but i will try... i dont know whatelse to think. its just funny... back in Jordan everything moved so slow. it was great. life was relaxed. here it is crazy. i am getting really stressed again and falling back into the same old distractions... plus some. how great it is. i know i need to get to work... but i could really care less to tell you the truth. i am still tired from the trip and i dont seem to be getting anymore awake... but thus is life right.... but ok... if you have any suggestions let me know... i think now i am going to sink into the bed. talk to you later.

home

alright... it is official... i made it home.... i am sitting on my floor, not in an internet cafe. ok... well... it has been a crazy 33 hours of flying... shouldnt ever happen. but anyway... this is going to be super short. i am getting overwhelmed with everything that i have to get done before i leave next... so i will talk to you all later.

ok.... few more days

alright well.... we were supposed to stop working yesterday... but now i dont know when that will happen... we worked today and we might work tomorrow. the area that i joined a couple days before the end of the dig.... is the last to be done. so while some get to stay home from work i am in the field.... all in good fun... its ok. they are doing work back at camp... but anyway.... i know this may not post right... but i am going to try my hardest to figure out what is going on with this thing... this is my third post sense petra and something is just not working right... we will see.... but yes today we confirmed tickets. so hopefully i will make it home ok... i still have yet to pack. i have yet to do anything. it should be interesting. i maybe tired enough to sleep most of the flight back. that would be nice. but ok... i dont really know whatelse to say. we have said goodbyes to a lot of our friends that we have made here over the summer. it is really sad... i miss them all already. sheugel halas. work finished. with that.... goes most of our contact with the jordanians. it has been good though... i think i have dinner invitations like every night i have left here. it is great. i think i actually got adopted into one of the families here... i dont know how that happened. or why they like me so much but... whatever.... but ok... now i really should be going... i think i am about to get my last schwarma at my favorite resturant... sad day....

ok....

well.... for some reason i dont think my last post is showing up on my blog. im sorry about that... i will try to get it up.... but just in case you should read it.... i am still sick.... i am getting a little better. but my stomach is still messing with me. it has not been fun. right now... i am wanting to be back in hartha in my bed. but that is ok... thus is life. my stomach is doing ok... i am feeling and looking much better. i took a couple days off of work last week. i went in monday... but that was the day that i got sick... stayed home on tuesday. and then my old area needed some help because it was going to be closed up thursday morning... so i got my butt out of bed to help out. and then thursday i wanted to be there to see it finished and to watch the final photos. but then on friday i decided it was best not to wake up at 4 and finally get some rest. it was a good decision. a lot of people said i looked a lot better. which is very good. for almost a week now... one guy has been saying i look like hell.... almost everyday... at one point i think i graduated to purgatory... that was exciting... but ok... i think that is enough of that. i have 2 days of work left. then 2 days of cleaning camp. then i am off to amman to spend 2 days there and then leave. it should be exciting. we are coming to an end. i have stories to tell from last night... but i dont think that i can give them justice. i can just say it involves the jordanian army and the syrian border. :) oh well... ok i am off.

sick again

well this week hasnt been fun... we got home from petra and aqaba on sunday night.. and i was dead on the bus the entire way home... the next morning i get up go to work and i basically collapse on the tel. i felt nauseous. and weak. and it was no fun. i get home that afternoon. skip both dinner and lunch and go to bed. i got up for 2 hours that night and slept through work the next day... something about fellow classmates telling me i look like hell makes me feel like i made the right decision. i needed to go into work today though. my stomach still hurt and i was really weak feeling still but i did not feel like i was going to throw up anymore... always a good sign... but i did a light day of work to try to finish up the church for final pictures... it is not completely great.... but it is all the time we have... oh well... it is ok... we only have one week of work left. everyone is kindof closing down their areas and then counting down the days... it is great. we are enjoying our last days rushing through homework... and planning our free weekend we have coming up... i will be staying in town... i just want to rest and these trips every weekend are wearing me down... but it is going to be nice. irbid and hartha are my favorite parts of jordan... and believe me i have been all over. i have seen way more of this country than i ever thought possible... it has been good though... but ok.... thanks for everything everyone... i am guessing there will be two more entries before i get home... or maybe 3. one this weekend. one next week. and then one when i am in amman waiting to get on the plane... oh happy day oh and here is one of the more recent pics of me that i have access to right now... this was before the camera broke... so...umm... i think i am probably darker and blonder... now... oh and i think this is where john the baptist got beheaded
