I have two take home midterms to study for that are due Friday, a lab report for my physical anthropology class due Thursday, and all of my research, bibliography, and outline for a paper due on Friday. Death week, meet Kaitlyn. Thankfully, I got one of my midterms out of the way early, but still... just one midterm in a week can be bad! And for some reason, my motivation has been practically zero. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been doing things related to studying, just not studying itself. For example, instead of researching scholarly articles for my paper on the LRA, I went on Invisible Children's website and pondered applying to be an intern or roadie for this summer. Same topic, so it counts, right? :)
Anyway, I was feeling really discouraged, and I went onto facebook, and lo and behold, there are my friends, encouraging me not to give up. A reason I really want to major in anthropology is I just love people. People are so fascinating. My friends and I have known each other for about a month and a half, yet they know exactly how to put a smile on my face and kick my butt back in line when I need it. In my physical anthropology class, we're learning a lot about primate interaction and socialization, and I love applying what I learn to every day life. Humans are very social beings... isolation is just not beneficial for the progression of our species! While we don't pick bugs out of each other's fur when we've had a rough day and we don't rub genitals when we greet each other (totes awk) (yes, there is a species of hominids I believe that does this), we do have our own social codes for making each other feel better. Like posting youtube videos. Thanks, bestie. :) I WILL SURVIVE!!! :D
Here are my horn besties. Love you guys. :)
