it's like a dream - no end and no beginning
Well holy fuck, it's June. Where the hell did May go?! My last entry was...almost a month ago *headdesk* What have I been up to? Well, a lot - hence my lack of updates (for which I apologize again. So sorry!).
Where to start, where to start...
01. - First I'll start with my job(s). Ok, so, as I mentioned in a previous entry, I "quit" my job with the lobbying firm about three weeks ago (Readers' Digest version: my work place got shut down "indefinitely" so a criminal investigation could take place, and, instead of asking to be transferred to some BFE location, I opted to just be let go to pursue other options). Since then, I've been interviewed for a job at Macy's, which I didn't get, despite being optimistic about my chances of getting the job (see what optimism gets me?! Sheesh). Shortly after, I got not one but two jobs. I hunted on craigslist and found a data entry job at a small office in Boca Raton. After interviewing (successfully) for that job, I went to this frozen yogurt place called Orange Leaf for a "congrats on the new job!" treat. I noticed that they were hiring, and since the data entry job only offered so few hours (Mon-Thurs., 9A-2P), I filled out an application, and got the job for some extra cash. On top of those two jobs, I decided to take on an (unpaid) internship at a real estate office where I've been looking through property contracts, accompanying a real estate agent to various properties, photographing said properties, delivering papers to clients, and doing other administrative things. I'm excited, because I'm actually looking into studying real estate/property law once I get to law school and if there's one thing I love, it's looking at big ass houses.
It's needless to say that I've been one busy bee this summer. Which is nice, actually, since most of my friends are scattered around the world this summer and/or busy with school/their futures.
02. - HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS I'M GRADUATING IN A YEAR. This time next year I'm supposed to have been accepted into a law school...somewhere. I'm not readyyy! More *flailing* behind the cut. This is srs biznis for the following reasons:
03. - To continue my whole academic rant theme, click here and take a look at my fall semester syllabus. This is the first semester since I was a chemistry major that I haven't taken any political science classes, and I'm excited. As much as I love PoliSci, I felt like every class had me writing the same types of papers and reading the same material over and over. Last semester, I used one of my own papers as a source while writing another paper because that's how closely related the topics were, lol. This semester my course load is full of anthropology classes!
04. - My new obsession is the late 90s television show, Felicity. Not even gonna lie. I'll probably have a Felicity-related post within the next few days. It makes me miss some 90s fashion, as well as be so thankful that 90s fashion is over and done with.
05. - WORLD CUP IN THREE DAYS. THAT IS ALL.
Hope you're all having a wonderful week! :)

02. - HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS I'M GRADUATING IN A YEAR. This time next year I'm supposed to have been accepted into a law school...somewhere. I'm not readyyy! More *flailing* behind the cut. This is srs biznis for the following reasons:
- a.) WTF LSAT, WHY ARE YOU SO HARD?! I'm scheduled to take the test in October, and I'm freaking out hardcore because I had friends who took it today (June 7) and they all basically died and they're all so much smarter than me and omgomgOMG I can't do this
- b.) I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I LIKE LAW, OMG. The one downside to my current major(s) is that I don't really get a taste of what working in a law firm is like. Most pre-med students shadow a doctor at some point in their undergrad years. I can't really shadow a lawyer...or can I? I've been calling law firms in Gainesville like crazy to find a firm that won't mind having me follow them around for a semester.
- c.) WHERE THE FUCK DO I EVEN WANT TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL?! I'm leaning towards the Northeast (here's looking at you, New York), California (HERE WE COME, BACK RIGHT WHERE WE STARTED FROM), Washington D.C. (aka I'm training for my eventual take over of the world via the nation's capitol/White House), and Florida (because home is where the heart is, y0). But I really don't know where I'd go :/ A part of me says, "GO WEST, YOUNG [WO]MAN!" and wants me to apply to Stanford University (again -_- I applied there for undergrad - and was bedridden for a couple of hours with grief when I got the news of my rejection - but it's ranked as the 4th best university in the nation and has the 3rd best law school, so I don't know why I think I have a chance, lol). But I'm probably applying to a few more realistic Cali schools like University of California (both the Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses), Chapman University, and University of South California. As for New York, I'm considering Pace University, Hofstra University, and perhaps NYU if I'm feeling rather lucky (ranked number 6 in the nation -_- I applied for undergrad and got in, but I doubt I'll get in for law school. I have to sight my sights a little lower, lol). As for D.C., I'm looking mostly at American University simply because there's no way I'm getting into Georgetown or George Washington. As for sunny ol' Florida, I'm looking at University of Florida (aka my alma mater. GOOOO GATORS!), University of Miami, Florida International University, Nova Southeastern University, and Stetson University. My first choices would be anything but UF. Don't get me wrong, I love UF with all my heart, but I need a change of scenery, stat.

Last semester, I used one of my own papers as a source while writing another paper because that's how closely related the topics were, lol. This semester my course load is full of anthropology classes!
- ANT3930 - Race and Racism - Pretty self-explanatory, I'd say. I've heard great things about the professor and class, so I'm a bit excited. Plus it seems like a class that involves a lot of arguing, which I love (what can I say? It's the PoliSci/pre-law student in me).
- ANT3620 - Language and Culture - Just a pre-req class for my anthropology degree. I don't really want to take this, but, alas. I must.
- ANT2410 - Cultural Anthropology - Same as above, but I took General Anthropology this past semester and the cultural anthro part of the course seemed interesting, so who knows.
- ANT3520 - Human Evolutionary Anthropology - Not gonna lie, this class sounds SO FUCKING COOL. It totally reminds me of the character Dr. Brennan from Bones. It definitely seems like a class she'd teach. Despite my somewhat Catholic religious beliefs, I love evolution. I find it so fascinating. Plus I get to feel like a science geek if I take this class. I miss feeling science-y :/
- ANT3302 - Sex Roles Across Cultures - Yep, exactly what the title says. The professor is supposed to be kickass, but the class itself - ie. assignments/exams - are supposed to suckkk.
04. - My new obsession is the late 90s television show, Felicity. Not even gonna lie. I'll probably have a Felicity-related post within the next few days. It makes me miss some 90s fashion, as well as be so thankful that 90s fashion is over and done with.
05. - WORLD CUP IN THREE DAYS. THAT IS ALL.
