The Tortoise and the Hare

Some days I don't know which I am!

Today I got up late on purpose, I was so tired and so sneezy I stayed in bed til ten o clock. In my defense, I did only fall asleep around four a.m., I was too keyed up to sleep even though I went to bed at 1 a.m.

Class was pretty awesome, we actually sat down and did a lot of work on our labs today, and I was working in a pair with this guy Dave (we're allowed to work in pairs, it was totally kosher) and he's taken a lot of GIS before so he was really really helpful. Plus we made some really funny discoveries (including our extreme tunnel vision) so we got to laugh about it which is definitely a bonus in ANY class. Now I just have to finish up part one at home, and the last bit of part 3 in lab on Thursday and I should be golden. Maybe if I have a lot of energy tomorrow I can go do it in the geography lab.

I really like Dr. Lee though. He's not like Dr. Rodrigue, but he's a good lecturer, and he's always willing to explain something we don't understand.

My class schedule still isn't sorted out, what a freaking pain. I have a backup plan and a backup plan for my backup plan...but I want it sorted, I honestly think I'm getting real life heartburn over this. And heartburn is no bueno!

After class I went to the SLD offices and got some of the paperwork for the AGSA, but it turns out there's a whole new online system so I have to set up a meeting with Zion soon and get the rest of it sorted out.

Then I headed on over to the CLASC meeting, which was fairly rowdy - as the first meeting of the semester usually is in any club - and we went through a lot of stuff. The president of the poli sci graduate association is organizing this fundraising week-long carnival for this spring. I talked to him about it, and I think we may be able to integrate the planned spring edition of What To Do With A Degree In Anthropology into his festival. He's a cool guy, he was the one behind that big going-green initiative on campus last year.

Plus, everything he does is successful, so if I can get a ton of people to the What To Do event I will be VERY happy. Because the Margaret Mead Film Festival is in April (at CSULB) and it will be a wonderful advertisement for the festival...I'm DYING to get some real audiences there. I want to expose as many people as I can to what anthropology really is.

Whew, definitely time for bed. I have to get up early tomorrow and do laundry or I won't have anything to wear for Thursday.
