Doing Stuff Elaborated
I've started to actually accomplish things again. Maybe the chaos of graduation has worn off, maybe I've gotten tired of reading all day and hanging out with friends all night (unlikely), or maybe I'm just trying to lose myself in my work and forget that this summer (the strangest and most surreal of my life - more on that later) will eventually end.
Today I registered to vote. I figure that Statesboro needs me a hell of a lot more than Boston. I'll have to vote via absentee ballot for the July primaries, but no big deal.
I finally finished all of those thank-you notes. One thing I like about graduating and large families: you get a lot of money from a lot people you barely know.
I figured out my Tufts e-mail account, and am working on registering for advisement. Tufts does it much differently than GSU. You can take a full-credit course (like Intro to Arabic or The Role of Writing in the Modern World) with a professor who will be your adviser from that point on, you can take a half-credit, pass-fail seminar (like the Archetypal Odyssey and The Divine Feminine in Arabic Culture), or you can help a professor do research (for one sociological study, students analyze human representation in photography across the world, and take their own pictures in Boston.)
Basically, I'm pumped. I can't decide. Even thinking about it gives me shivers. I've gotten over feeling guilty for being proud about going to Tufts - I've worked my ass off to be able to go, and damnit, I'm proud.
