Okay, okay. This is a blog. I know. I'm cringing too. BUT, I'm justifying it as a way to mass update my dear friends whom I may not see for months, since I'll be abroad this summer and next semester.
So here's the plan. I'm headed to Italy this Friday (so soon!), where I won't have internet except on the occasional weekend. So hopefully I'll be doing a little writing and updating this sucker on weekends. Then I'm back in Wtown for most of August, and off to London in the Fall. Craziness! But I want to ensure that we keep in touch throughout the craziness, so shoot me an email, a facebook, Skype, gchat, just stalk this blog, or even (omg!) call me.
But now that I've lamented our long separation, I probably should remind you (dear reader...) what exactly I'm up to. I'll be touring around Italy (Rome, Cerveteri, Florence) for a week starting this Friday, then I'm working in the lab at the archaeological dig Poggio Colla, an Etruscan settlement and probable temple site active from the 7th-2nd centuries BCE. Check it out at www.smu.edu/poggio. I'll mostly be in the lab all summer, playing around with coarseware pottery. Fun times!
Anyways, keep in touch - I'm keeping you updated!
Isa
