05.03.05 - 5:55 pm I was talking to Maddy and Alyssa after practice today about Sweeney's Anthro class, how we know a lot about three cultures but nothing about anthropology itself, and I mentioned that I want to major in Anthropology, and, more specifically, continue into Archaeology. They asked about what I wanted to focus on, and I mentioned egyptology and paleontology, and maybe traveling to study ancient Mayan/Incan civilizations. It was then that I realized that I actually want to do that. When I was little I always mentioned that I would absolutely love to be a paleontologist, but I knew that I could never do it as an adult, that I would have to get a business job in sales, like both of my parents. Then I thought that I might be a teacher, or a trophy wife, and I've been joking about my "Plan A" for a while now, but today I finally realized that I can be an archaeologist. It's not stupid, it's not bullshitting out the rest of my life, it'd be an actual career that I'd really enjoy. Would it make me money? No. That's why I still am holding on to Plan A. Dross left a message on my machine, telling me how excited she is that I am coming to visit her at Outdoor School tonight. Sarah didn't get us in, and I felt really, really badly when I heard the message. This paragraph doesn't really have a point. I keep thinking of lots of things to say, but I can't. I'm just too sweaty and smelly. I need to take a shower. Heat + running practice = ew. Okay, shower time. Two hours of IB testing tomorrow at 8 AM and then I don't have to be anywhere until 5:30 that evening. No school, no volunteering, nada. It's nice.
