i'm alive. i'm an anthropology-sociology major and if you ask me what i plan on doing with that i will virtually attack you. i got my first job ever (yeah, i know i'm late) as a research assistant for an anthro professor- looking into the history of water use in poughkeepsie and Fiji and the bottled water industry-- but that starts in few months ( Read more... )

TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 2:00 bedtime-6:30 wake-up call is beginning to take its toll. today we have BSCs (Beginnng School Conferences) and my particular BSC involves community service, so here I sit.
