CFH is a very happy man today, here's why:

Hey kids, I'm fucking stoked. I just found out that I got accepted into an archaeological field school, starting in June. I didn't think I had a prayer of being accepted, but somehow it happened, thank God.
I'll be living on an island in the middle of nowhere for 6 weeks excavating an old Native village and while I am not exactly stoked about having to shit in an outhouse for 6 weeks, I'm very happy to be participating in this. Field schools are the most important components of one of the degrees I am working on (the other is history). There were only 15 spots available and the folder containing the applications was about 3 inches think, filled with them, so I didn't think I had much of a chance, but I know the Prof. running it, and I got the chair of the dept. at my school to write me a letter of reference, so I guess it paid off.
I just wanted to tell some people about it; my first thought was that I wish I could tell my mom about it, but that's not possible, so I called my grandma and then came on here since all my friends (all 2 of 'em) are at work at real jobs.
This is a very brief slide show about the school with some pics if anyone is interested: http://web.uvic.ca/~qxm/2008fieldsch...6,1,Announcing the Collaborative Tseshaht First Nation - U.Vic. Anthropology Field School in Archaeology: July 3 to August 20, 2008

Thanks man, I'm really excited. It's going to cost a ton of cash because I won't be able to work while I'm there, obviously, but it'll be worth it.

Hey man, congratulations, that's awesome. You should change your name to BUGENHAGEN;D

{If you saw the movie, you'll understand:)}

Thanks man.
I have no idea what BUGENHAGEN means unfortunately. What movie is it from?

THE OMEN{original}. One of my faves, though part II is killer also.

"Damian, it's all for you":cool:

That's the video game right? I didn't know there was a movie about it.

Damian? Nevermind then. They are 2 different characters.

This will probably make me sound like a complete wimp, but I can't stand horror movies. I like thrillers though.

Very cool man, that's going to be an awesome experience. Very cool man that's so interesting to be unearthing history like that. Congrats.

Everything involving an outhouse is an adventure...Enjoy it(not the outhouse,but everything else...ahhh enjoy the outhouse too...;))...

Do you have internet access there ?!? Probably not...

No, there won't be internet access. I'll probably be able to post an update on here earlier in August as we have the Aug. long weekend off and I think I'll use it to visit my sister who lives somewhat nearby.

Congrats, money is over rated anyway, you enjoy yourself.

So you're going to Tarawa, huh;D. Hope you collect lots of war 'artifacts' there... Good luck.;)

Congradulations CFH! Nice to know someone had some good fortune for a change. :D :cool:
