The Update
So this is the update.
-I’m back at Waterloo doing the University thing. As of October 20-something-th, I’ll have been doing the University thing now for four and a half semesters. Its scary that time is whipping by so fast, but at the same time, this semester is going oddly slowly. That is a good thing, and I’m glad I’m actually taking the time to stop and get my priorities straight.
-I would love to say I miss the old days when I was in Elementary/High School and when I honestly didn’t have a real care in the world, but I don’t. In fact, I’m tired of thinking about the good old days (wherever they were, and whatever they were). In a way, I’m over everything, and although it does make me feel heartless at times, I’m glad I can let go reminiscing about the past and am actually working towards a future and a present.
-I made a new friend. This makes me exceptionally happy- I think. In fact, through him, I’ve made another friend who is in another class of mine and who is funny and interesting. I love how the chains connect back and forth, and eventually you get to know more people. We spent two whole hours in the SLC discussing Islam, the Middle East, and faith. It was exceptionally fun.
-I miss my parents.
-I’ve been getting less and less sleep, and its beginning to show. Today, after class, someone mentioned how completely wrecked I look. This is not a good thing, but it really ups my broody dark looks. I can also now death stare people and look like I don’t take bull-shit- from anyone. This is a development of great potential.
-Apparently, I have this gift for humour. That, or I’m seriously starting to believe in myself more. Take your pick.
-I need to do something nice for someone. Its been irritating me how indifferent I can be to people.
-People from Finland are awesome. Especially ones who looks like Vikings. Even more so those Viking ones who take Religious Studies.
-My Archaeology professor is leading a Dig in Albania this summer. She says she will take a few students with her. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I really want to do this. Its been a child/teenage/adulthood dream of mine and I want to see it fulfilled. Plus, I can say a few things in Albanian.
-Said Prof. is also offering an Osteo-Archaeology (Bone Archaeology) class next semester. It’s a Lab class and we’ll do a lot of hands on work. The one problem right now is that the class is full (it had a quota of 14), so I need to beg her to let me take it. Its something ive been fascinated with, and since Physical Anthropology is shaping up to be my specialization, I really, really need this class.
-I’m becoming a Lawyer. It sounds weird when contrasted with the last section, but if I can somehow mix Anthropology with Law (like for Aboriginal Rights, Law with regards to Cultures, Archaeology, or even Forensics law), I will be happy. Most Law Schools don’t need a Pre-Law degree so it doesn’t matter anyway.
That’s about it.
I hope you all are safe and happy, and all that jazz.
Uzair.
