#2 & #3 are just about spot on, and at a couple of points during my undergrad years I did consider majoring in either Anthro or Romance Languages. Of course, anyone who has been lurking around here for a spell remembers my near brush with the LSAT, wherein I decided that I'd rather spend my birthday celebrating than taking a mind-numbing exam. Imagine how different things might be now if my alma mater had a more compelling anthropology department or if the timing of the LSAT (or my birthday, for that matter) had been just slightly different.
In more relevant news, my adviser says that I am on track to finish the PhD in 5 years, which seems like a great feat to me but my adviser is a very trustworthy person. That is 5 years total, which means that I only have a little less than 4 years of school. It is actually starting to seem possible that I could graduate before The Boy does. VFP also gave me some good feedback on my research project for this semester which simultaneously showed me that I was on the right track and offered some insight into some other directions it would help to explore.
Hopefully I am merely days away from finding the car of my dreams and then I can hit the archives and dig up the goods on my topic. Right now, must sleep. I am teaching less than 11 hours from now.
