(no subject)
so, last time i wrote in this thing, it was just me complaining about all the shit i have due, and while this isnt totally out of character for me, i guess there is more going on than all of said shit.
so what's been going on with me lately? not much.
i could put my life into a numbered list. so that provides some feint sense of organization to what is a dreadfully unorganized existence.
1. school is going so so so so well. I'm kicking ass and taking names in all of my classes. and im really very shocked about it. im rocking the head off of evolutionary anthropology and both of my history classes. and should end up with an a or a b in my contemporary lit class and my FUCKING SPANISH CLASS. I've done a lot of things this semester that i never thought i would do. I've written two twenty page papers and am currently working on a third. I've been published in two history journals. I presented my work on Spanish Convents in Colonial Mexico City (Appropriately titled "Sects in the City") to this huge conference in Atlanta. I get to work with one of my professors researching her book, and she wants me to help write/edit parts too. What can i say? mexican post offices are kind of my thing. I don't know. It's kind of cool I guess. It's nice to know that I'm good at something. When I was narrowing down all of the majors that i could do. I was left with history. And i was like hell i love history. But will i be able to DO it? will i be able to write the massive amounts of papers that are required of me and do it well? When i turned in my first paper on coal miners in northern england, and i got it back with a big fat A on it, and a "submit to x journal and x journal and x journal" it was like a confirmation about my future. or some shit like that :).
2. That's not to say the massive amounts of work makes my head spin, and its not really all the writing that has me going (that comes along in bits and pieces), its all the reading. this week alone ive read 3 books so far, AND ITS ONLY WEDNESDAY. That kind of pace has been kept up for most of the semester, reading 4-5 books a week and then having tests/class discussions/have to include them in my papers on them. I get out of class at 6 every day. and pretty much from 6-11 im reading non-stop. shit's bananas.
3. Im also in the boat to graduate next year. WHAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME. so im double majoring in education to keep me around for another year or so.
4. i DO have some sort of social life. Lauren and Jason have both come down to visit me this year. which is swell. I'm seeing a boy right now, which is also swell. his name is Aaron. He's graduating this winter though, so that's kind of upsetting, but we'll see where it goes from there. Football/band has been consuming my life. We're leading the coastal devision of the ACC, and if we win our next three games we get to go to tampa! This weekend is going to be the best football game ive been to since coming here. A night game against FSU at home. They're our rivals in the conference and a night game in death valley is quite the force to be reckoned with.
5. i miss people from home. immensely. I frequently think about morgs, and how she's got SO MUCH SHIT TO DO. and i think about kenny, and how i never talk to him when i should. and john and his Asian friends :) etc etc.
well that's my life. it varies from day to day. its just me and my two fish living life. and getting published.
