So I finally go the internet booted up properly here at the apartment. I am actually in the apartment now, I’ve been living here for almost a week now! Great excitement. I’ve managed to set off the fire alarm once (with the oven) and my door lock is a nightmare and a half but aside from that all appears to be well in my little two room world here.
I also had an interview today which I feel went very well. Here’s hoping I get the call back to the second interview, in the mean time I am going to continue sending out resumes.
Classes are also going well. My Intro to Anthro may need to be replaced. It’s a first year that I picked up so I would have the option of adding an anthropology minor (which would be good if I decide to apply for a museum management grad program. It is very much a first year course with reading responses to do and probably research workshops. Which may be draggy. Also I don’t know how much social anthropology will appeal to me. The physical and archeaology streams that we are covering in my second year course are facsinating. I will give it another week before I make a decision.
Text books are a pain in the behind though. I bought just over half of the ones I need and it cost me $400. And I have at least one more course kit to buy which is another 100. All in all, the furniture in my living room costs less than the freaking books. Grr. Argh. Fume, Fume. I do have heavy reading lists but not so heavy writing. More tests, fewer papers. It all balances out I guess.
