Quick Update
I'm a teaching assistant for Dr. Fradkin, which I had a feeling I would be. She took me to the side and told me that I was assigned to her because the department was freaking out about thinking I wouldn't be able to speak in front of a class and that she would help me. I taught my Intro to Anthropology courses today for the first time. It's nothing like standing up in front of a class presenting shit in front of your classmates and teacher/professor. I was completely fine standing up there and talking in front of my students. Dayan sat in my two classes to give me feedback on how I did and how the volume of my voice was. Dayan said my voice was fine and that he could hear me from all the way in the back of the classroom. What made it easier was when I was standing up in front of the class, I just looked at the students and said in my head, "look at these punk ass kids." lol. My first class is a bunch of punks. lol. I thought the group of boys were talking shit about me, but Dayan heard what they were saying and they said I was a hot TA. lol. I loved my outfit that I wore today. I looked quite professional. I wore new nice jeans and a really nice blouse/shirt. Dr. Fradkin even liked my shirt. I told her how everything went and she was glad that it went good and I felt fine in front of the classes. I can't wait till I get paid next Friday. Woot!
I hate my two seminars that I have to take. They are the archaeology and cultural anthropology seminars. They suck big balls. All you do is read a bunch of shit that is soooooo boring and shitty and then write shit loads of stuff. I feel like quitting grad school already and it's just the first week of it. I have to try to bear it in order to get my master's degree. I know that I most likely can't stay in the United States for my Ph.D because I refuse to study any more archaeology and cultural anthropology. I won't be able to get into a science program like psychology/neuroscience because of my GRE. I do not want to take the GRE again either. I'm going to check out more schools in New Zealand in the psychology department and see the admission requirements. I don't know what other countries to look at for biological anthropology programs that are not included with archaeology and cultural anthropology. Hopefully I don't flunk the two seminars that I'm in. I just can't even do the readings because they do not interest me at all and all I see is words and I'm not even comprehending anything!
I'm fed up with Brandon keeping on switching from one thing to another. He says the whole law school thing isn't working out because he's not getting high enough scores on his LSAT practice tests. So just this week he has been sworn into the U.S. Navy. He's supposed to take the LSAT in October and now I'm not even sure if he's even going to take it. I'm pretty pissed. He was mad at first at me for thinking of going to New Zealand, but I fucking offered for him to come with me and find a job there or get another degree like a fucking law degree because there is no LSAT's in New Zealand and he doesn't need to take a test to get into the school to get a law degree. I guess he thinks it's okay for him to join the dumb ass navy and leave me behind while he goes all over the fucking world. I'm so pissed about that. He knows I can't stay with him because I can't move around all the time if I'm a professor and there's no way in hell I'm gonna stay in random places all by myself months at a time while he's away at sea. So I have no idea what our future is going to be or if we'll be together. Next month is our 2 year anniversary. 'Tis a damn shame. I didn't even get a birthday present from him. It looks like I'm never gonna get repaid for all the shit I got him these past two years. I need to find someone to come with me to New Zealand.
