I realize how this must seem to everyone. As cliche as it is, I have started to blog. Why? Beause I don't have people to talk to about my day, and it's too cold to go running. Let's pretend I don't have an important Archaeology midterm tomorrow, and that I actually have time to do this.
It's been over 9 weeks so far since I've started University, and there are only 3 weeks remaining. Have we really made it over 2 months? Bravo ladies and gentlemen. As crazy as it sounds, I'm starting to get attatched to the people in my classes. Mainly my 3 hour Geology lab, as I work with 5 guys and they are honestly the funniest and most interesting people to talk to. And I might be falling for one of them, but let's just keep that between us. It's been so different being at this huge campus. Did you know there are over 30,000 students studying at my school? Crazy. Through these past 9 weeks, I've come to realize what I want to do with my life. I am either going to major in Anthropology (studying Gorillas in Guana or diseases) or Archaeology with a focus in Osteology. I will most likely minor in the other. I always thought that when I was younger, I would grow up to be rich and live in a huge house. What kid wouldn't fantasize about that? But now I'm putting my foot down. I am currently on par to get my BA in another 3 years (maybe 4 if I travel abroad, volunteer or do the coop program) and then move out of the rent's house. After that, I would LOVE to be able to work for a couple years in my field and then go to Graduate school to get my Masters! Then perhaps a PhD? Who knows. If I DID get my PhD in Anthropology or Archaeology, I would most likely strive to be a professor and set up a research facility somewhere. I've always had somewhat of an interest in teaching, whether it be at my dance school or helping people in class. I would also love to be able to volunteer. Christmas is coming up, so I'm going to try to find somewhere to help out. Maybe the mustard seed? I need to do my part for the community and it will look good on my resume.
Look at me sounding all grown up. I feel proud of myself for being able to accomplish as much as I currently have, and have my fingers crossed to getting some more scholarships and pay my way through more school. Now let's come back to reality. It's gotten so cold here that I've been unable to do anything outside for more than 5 minutes. Thank god I know all of the indoor routes at school. Snow is the apotheosis of winter. This means that I have had to put running aside for the time being. I tried to go on Sunday, but running in shorts when it's 0 celcius means that after 10 minutes, I am unable to feel my legs. I feel myself getting fatter and fatter as the days go by. Might have to bundle up and go for a run while I still have some sunshine. On a side note, I've managed to spill dark blue nail polish on my leggings and a yellow shirt I happened to be wearing. I thought it would come out in the wash (or with nail polish remover) but alas I was unsuccessful. I'm too cheap to buy new leggings (or get a haircut for that matter) but let's hope that 'santa' will get the memo.
I leave you with these thoughts, and a new song that I've discovered: Mother Sea by Bat for Lashes.
