(no subject)
I can't do anything today until I see a film I missed the one day I skipped class this semester. After that, it's paper time! Oh, joy.
But really, I love it here. I still feel inadequate and stupid sometimes, but it's okay. I'm doing relatively well in my classes, and I'm still meeting new people and making new friends. I guess you could view shaving my head last week as an act that proves my comfort and happiness, even.
(Although I will now admit I am decidedly less comfortable with my new fuzzy head than I thought I would be. But the great thing about hair is that it grows back. And I'm excited for it to grow back... to me, I guess, it's comparable to watching a child grow up. Hopefully the awkward stage won't be too horrible.)
Otherwise... what else? Oh, I'm excited for my schedule next year! It's a mixture of environmental studies and anthropology classes, and they all sound really cool.
Intro to Environmental Ethics
Earth and the Environment
Culture and the Environment
Africa: Peoples and Cultures
Intro to Archaeology
and I'm waitlisted for The AIDS Epidemic: Inequalities, Ethnographies, & Ethics.
I just wish I had time for some sort of elective or photo class. And we also got our room assignment- first floor Wheeler. Four singles, a bathroom, and a common room! It should be a good semester.
Well, it's 12:30. Time to watch a homoerotic film on a WWI massacre!
I hope everyone is surviving finals period alright, except you silly trimester/quarter system kids. So long!
