so, havent really posted in....forever, but I think youve come to deal with it.
Really only posting now because of extreme boredem... that and I'm using a laptop and I love to type on those things :P
Nothing really has changed in my life... lots of indecision and angst. I'm going back to school, this time for film. Maybe taking classes about something i'm alrdy passionate about will help me get motivated for a career and a life or something. /crossfingers
I cant believe that I'm the only person out there who doesnt want to grow up. we should unite and form some sort of commune and live in harmony with no working.
been playing lots of WoW, no surprise. finally got into a good guild; were raiding on a regular basis and everyone in it is really friendly. I feel like such a nerd, but I've made some friends there and I just really like the enviroment.
guess thats it for now. I wouldnt expect me to write anything else anytime soon lol
I just never remember livejournal and i cant remember if anyone else ever updates, so it could just be me complaining out to a world... and having no one care :P
oh well |

So, I've finally got to looking at grad. schools to try to decide where I want to go. The main problem is I really don't know what I want to go into...I mean exactly want to go into. Anthropology is such a big field...
I know I don't want to do cultural anthro.; I don't have enough charisma to be alone in an isolated place for a year or more and try to do research. I'd probably curl myself up into the fetal position and wait for death from some strange disease.
I like archaeology, but what then would I specialize in? I, of course, like classical archaeology, but so does everyone else in the world and I would get to compete with those ppl for jobs. I also like Asian/South Pacific archaeology, which is becoming more and more popular (which means less ppl in that field) and that I could go to Hawaii for grad. school :P
I'm also thinking about forensic anthropology only because I'm not that squeamish and I think I could handle myself around a decaying body...or at least its bones.
Then there's that other problem....
I'm not even sure if I want to make Anthropology my career. I know, I know...it's what I studied at university and of my majors (the other being german) it's the one that seems like the most practical. But, I always fancied myself somewhat or a creative writer and have been emerging myself lately with movies and tv. Would I want to be a part of that world? Would I want to see my work possibly on tv or the silver screen? You bet your ass I would.
So, what does this all mean for me?
Simply, that I have no idea what I want to do with my life.
/sigh
Nothing has really changed in five years, has it? |

I have so much to do...
Why did I think two capstones AT THE SAME TIME was a good idea? Now, in each capstone, I have a final paper due; the longer the better. And, have I stated either one of these? Of course not. That would have been responsible.
I did start working on the second part of my anthropology capstone project-- a board game on everything we've talked about this semester. I'm actually really excited about it. Think Civilizations meet Settlers of Catan.
The time sink that is World of Warcraft has sucked me back in. The worst part is, I know that it will affect my productivity, but I don't care. Or, rather, think that I can manage it, that I can play WoW and do work at the same time....I think I'm addicted to WoW. Do they have meetings for people addicted to video games...?
Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm a rogue night elf... |

Do you realize that I've been posting more than you have?! Do you know how bad that makes you look like?! Lazy! That's what!
Now that I've humiliated you...POST! |

So, this has been the laziest weekend ever I think.
I sat in my room and watched movies on tv and then when that got boring, I switched to watching Top Gear and House clips online. And then I repeated the whole process. Tedious I know.
It's not that I really had a lot to do this weekend-- just read a 263 page book. Should have been able to get that done it one day if I put my mind to it. Well, turns out I didn't put my mind to it...it not being the last day of the weekend and not even getting half way through.
It's just that...it's not terribly interesting. He made his point early in the book; it was logical, well written, I bought it. Why do I have to read the other 253 pages? They're just case studies. I get it already man! Oh well.
Now, the day is over. I'm tired of watching movies on tv. I've seen all the Top Gear and House clips I can handle. I seriously got excited about the new hulu.com commercial that has Seth MacFarlane in it. It may be time for some intervention people. Free me from my destructive ways. No person should live like this!
Oh, if only it were warm enough, I would have gone to the beach... |

[Mar. 15th, 2009|03:54 pm] |
So, I've been given the task by my room mates to work on grad. school and/or internships.
Well, I got to work. I found the internship I was looking for...and then despair set in. I'm not the most outgoing, so there goes my reference. I have a crappy work record, so there goes my resume. I'm not really all that good at anthropology, so there goes my career along with any happiness I wished to have with my life.
It's just so...difficult, isn't it? It seems dreadfully unfair. I know this will make me seem very naive and all...but, it shouldn't really, should it? I mean, you're suppose to like what you do (ideally), and then it wouldn't matter that it was hard; you'd just do it because you liked it. But, if you really don't care and it's hard, you just end up never doing it.
Where did I go wrong?
Is it because I studied something that I enjoyed learning about...but don't really like doing? But, I like doing it; field school was awesome.
It must just be the paper work.
I know that places want the best to work for them, but where does that leave the rest of us? Unwanted, un-inspired, and unpaid. It's like the whole "no child left behind" crap. Schools with poor grades get their money taken away...so it's more difficult to raise their grades.
/sigh |

So, here's your precious blog post. I know you wait desperately for it...crouched over the computer screen, taking in the horrible glow in the wee hours of the morning.
I got an industrial (bar) piercing in my right ear. Didn't really knew how much cartilage piercings hurt...or how much they bleed. I'm super excited to start trying new types of rings/bars once it's healed...so, expect an update on that in three months lol
Been watching a lot of "Top Gear" lately. It's a show on the BBC about cars, but it's goofy too. My favorite so far is http://64.224.11.56/us/videos/more/aygo-football
they play soccer with cars. If you look there's also one where they play hockey with cars. They're both amusing.
I've got so many projects that are due PLUS I haven't even started looking at graduate school or internships. I feel so...unmotivated to get anything done. I mean, these are forever choices aren't they? Once they're made you more or less have to go along with them, 'cause changing your mind later will just cause problems.
Grrr...why does life have to be filled with things like this? Shouldn't it be easier? more fun? |

Just a quick post right now, more to possibly follow later.
Back to school and everything is back to its hectic self. Any know why univeristy is so much more annoying and filled with busy work than the real world? Anyone? Bueller?
I caught another cold. I can't believe that I get sick so quickly or so often. Is it because I have a poor diet, I wonder? I dunno. I usually eat veggies...I like veggies. Maybe I'm just a sicky. Maybe it's just me.
I've got a wicked cough this time. That isn't like me.
Although, I have discovered the wonders of vitim C. It's a miracle worker. Try it the next time you get sick instead of the status quo of medicines.
Sidenote: I don't think we give "traditional" remedies enough credit in this world. I prepose a study into their effectivness. |

So, something has been going around and I caught it earlier this week. Not fun. Nothing like going through three boxes of kleenex in two days...yeah. Gross.
Okay, I hear some of you asking "How big of a dork are you?" Well, I've done something that may sum it up for you. Whilst perusing youtube late one night, I decided to search for some opera arias. I found a couple that I really liked...and then....I found Bryn Terfel. The man actually pronounces the words while he sings! When he sings in German, I can understand him! For people who listen to opera a lot, you should know how rare that is. Well, I was impressed and thusly spent hours looking up more and more of his stuff.
And then (the frosting on the cake) I went to Amazon.com and I ordered one of his CDs. I think I'm smitten. /sigh
Here's a clip!
This one is "Der Voglefanger bin ich ja" from The Magic Flute

And this one (slowly becoming my favorite...) from The Marriage of Figaro

We were afraid of being alone. It takes people of a certain disposition to be afraid of being alone at 26. We were those people.
My reaction:
What does it mean if you were afraid of being alone in middle school? QQ |
