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

[CFH]

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

Man, I would LOVE to go to Tarawa. I imagine it would be a bitch to get there.

Good going bud.Best of luck .I use to have a fascination with archeology and excavation.we would go out to the Fields when I lived in Virginia and go metal detector crazy....Found buttons,Belt buckles,musket balls galore and a Broken saber.We never stopped to think of the ones that took there last breath there.....Really takes you a back.

Make the most of the oppurtunity and absorb like a sponge

This is really great news CFH. Hopefully this will be just the thing you need to help take you out of yourself for a few weeks.

Plus you'll be essentially doing what you want to do for a career so will get a real taster for it.

It should be a great experience mate.

How's your girlfriend been with you going away, will you still get a chance to see her during the digs or will you be apart for the whole 6 weeks?

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
