You know what is more awkward than filling in the conversation gap with your ex-boyfriend as your computer thinks about trying to get on the internet? (It really wasn't that bad, Jon; it's just a catchy opening line!) Sitting in silence with an man you know is in India and thinking about what time it might be there (is it 8, 10 hours difference?) and how miserable he must be dealing with some frustrated, pompous American who makes stupid comments like "Now I can work in my office instead of the living room" when he might be living in a house with a huge family and no privacy... as your computer thinks about trying to get on the internet! I'm "Bad Anthropologist" who makes stupid comments like that.
But... I HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET NOW!!! (Apparently, I can forgive myself rather quickly...)
I can finally get to work in my office instead of "working" in the Shaggy Bag (read: falling asleep with the nice warm computer on my lap in the Shaggy Bag - I know, Poor Me...)!!! It is so pathetic, but now my apartment is complete! I have my internet; I have my furniture; I have my decorations; I have my incense. What more could a woman want?! Well, maybe my cat... hair on all the wonderfully soft furniture... so maybe not my cat.
It's been a while since I posted and many things have interested me and made me happy since then - so many that I will not get into them. I will just say that life is on-track and my brain is trying to process all the great stuff I am learning now! Though I will be happy when I reach the end, I sometimes like being a student. It's hard, yes, but I love the things I am reading about! It makes me know that I picked the right two degrees and that - hard or not - I did the right thing by taking on both of them. If only Public Health didn't require Biostats - I could definitely have gone the rest of my life without learning this shit! I feel as though I've already gone through the first half of the semester without absorbing it... my guess is that it'll be gone from my memory by the end of December. ;-)
Now that I have tackled and conquered the wireless monster, I must go to a place that doesn't hurt the eyes so much... a little thing I like to call "printed paper". I have a date with Margaret Mead!
