terribly overdue

So this is going to be a long update, considering that I have not posted in a while.
Firstly I got an A on my Geology I.S.
I completed my Archaeology I.S., topping at 84 pages! Also an A
My proposal was approved and I received my permit for excavation this past Monday in mail.
I want to thank all of the park staff and people at the Ohio Historical Society including Brad Lepper, Brent Eberhard, Linda Pansing, Richard Rapp, Elizabeth Fields, John Watts, and so many others who I am sure I am forgetting.
I am so excited to be starting excavations, and as an undergrad it is an even bigger honor to have been given this chance. I hope that the weather gets better and that all of my hard work pays off in a great excavation. The project will begin on Thursday, May 26th, so in a week!!!!! I am going up to Wooster to pick up equipment from the Geology and Archaeology departments.
On Thursday Richard and Elizabeth will walk me around the site and I will do some initial survey, no intensive stuff that day. I have to watch out for a population of salamanders, though I think it should be fine. I intend to begin real excavations on Friday, weather premitting, and go straight through to June 12th, which is a Sunday.
I really hope that I can blog just about everyday, or every other day, so that there is an ongoing record of excavation and findings, I plan on posting photos, etc.
This is such a wonderful opportunity for me and I cannot stop smiling about it!
Wish me luck everyone!!!
