QED

The dig is DONE. I had to go into the field to help Square 2 finish up some drawings and taking some levels, and then we were done by like nine so being stuck there, I decided to help catalog bones. We got that finished-- barely-- even though the system is not so good, it will do. Then I came back here and napped for hours. It was glorious. (And I got to talk to my mom, Aron AND Tessa! Sidenote, my skype username is rachelaubuchon742 if you ever want to chat or talk to me!)
Tonight the hotel threw a party for us. It was pretty awesome. Actually, it wasn't, but the effort was amazing!! We really appreciated how hard they have worked for us even if thing have been difficult and not at all what we expected. There was ice cream!! And they gave us each a Jordanian (red and white) keffiyeh as a souvenir :3
Then some of us went out to Books@Cafe, a really cool bookstore/ cafe. I had a cheeseburger!! It was amazing!! And I tried argileh (hookah) for the first time... different. Very different from what I expected... but pretty good. I liked it. I'll probably come home with an argileh.
Tonight w as interesting because I feel like there are one or two people who are really unpopular, and I disliked one more than the other until today. Now all of a sudden I find myself identifying with a person I really didn't like, and realizing that someone I thought simply tried too hard is actually a pretty rude, self-centered human being. It's interesting, but I feel afraid. It's stupid, but I'm afraid to be outwardly friendly with this first person because they are SO unpopular (and for good reason, just not with me... sometimes people are inconsiderate, and this person has been, but I think they meant it well) and it will be hard to disassociate with the other because he's everywhere, all the time and one of those pushy people who has to be involved.
But whatever, heavy thoughts are not what I need now. It's 1:30am, tomorrow I get to sleep in, and that's all that matters right now!
Goodnight!
From the hotel,
