My impending future

[slightly_shifty]

So after 20 minutes in my advisor's office, my future went from being a regular 'ol cop somewhere living in a tiny house with a lot of land and dozens of animals, to a well-known forensic anthropologist working in a lab somewhere who went to grad school and is published many times over. eep :/ It started out innocently enough with the idea of me being a peer tutor in her human evo class or her forensics class or something. Then she asked if I would condense a 15 page paper (that I have yet to write) into a 2 page summary that she could publish in her journal. I figured what the hell, I have to write it anyways so why not. Then she got all excited and started planning out papers that I could write and present throughout the rest of my time here at Trinity. Holy shit. I think she is trying to groom me or something because she said something about how she sees promise in my writing and that if she works with me, by the time I am a senior I could be doing a lot of exciting things (such as interning in a morgue). woo hoo. She also decided that since I will be going to grad school, I should just take my time graduating and not worry about getting out of here a semester early. 0_0 I sat there and listened simply because I couldn't think of a graceful way of explaining just how lazy I am to my academic advisor. Not really, but I just don't understand why life has to be so complicated, because it seems like it would be pretty easy to have both simple and fulfilling life. Maybe that's just me.

It is the weekend, however, so I will be going to the lake tomorrow and hopefully working on my tan. I'm excited because Dan, Will, Kalem and Cecily haven't experienced the calming wonderfulness that is my grandparent's house. This will kinda be the last blow-off weekend I have until summer, but it will be time well-spent.
