Mood:

I got my schedule signed today and chatted with my academic adviser about goals and majors and things. Apparently he had a horrible summer in Africa -- he got sick and all the vehicles kept breaking down -- but he found two new species of prehistoric ape including the smallest ape ever. He liked my courses and basically said that it doesn't matter whether I major in archeology ar anthropology. In fact, he originally got a geology degree and here he is, in charge of the anthro department at Yale. Life is very long, and especially in disciplines that are closely related, a broad education can't hurt. This was good to hear.
So about those archeology classes -- it turns out that I have to do a report on Wednesday for Ceramics and one on Thursday for Foundations! Ceramics is more reasonable; it's on an article, whereas Foundations is on a whole book! Whhhhaaaaaaaaatt......? Good news=it's all fun stuff to read. Bad news=GAAAAAAAAAAAgonnadie. At least this weekend's pretty free and I'm accidentally ahead in Music homework.
Why do I bother to write how far ahead in my homework I am? Who actually cares? Not one of the five people who read this.
Why am I applying for new activities? Oh, right, because I'm a psycho.
Believe it or not, this is a great day. Bluest sky ever.
