This semester hasn't seemed that hard for some reason, not that I'm complaining.
I should do pretty well in all my classes actually.
RECAP:
Modern Greek Studies: This class was kind of a joke--we just discussed Greek customs and politics the whole time, while the professor never took attendance. On the plus side he was super nice and legitimately interested in seeing us learn about his subject--and the books he required for the class were useful: a cook book and a coffee table book!
Foundations and History of Anthropology: Eh. I could have done without this class (well, not really. I needed it to graduate). Although I learned about some interesting philosophical reasonings in which to apply to the thinking of anthropological "rules", I didn't appreciate having a ten minute group play as our final. Then again, one less paper and written final is a-ok with me. Had to read dumb readings by Claude Levi-Strauss though, and had to listen to the insufferably intelligent and unforgivably arrogant professor read off her qualifications and published articles. Barf.
Social Work: Children in Neglected Families: This class was interesting to go to and learn from, but the professor was one of the most boring people I've ever listened to. Had to learn about beaten and neglected kids, as the course title suggests. This. Is. Depressing.
Family, Kin, and Community: an Anthropological Stance: I couldn't understand a word out of the professors mouth.
Forensic Anthropology and Osteological Practicum: Coolest class ever. Had to identify fragmented human bones and learn the different variations within human form, including atypical conditions and disease-burdened human structures. NEAT.
Next semester should be cool--it will all be osteologically or at least physical anthropologically inclined subjects.
Christmas is expensive.

Don't worry about Christmas gifts. Make everyone some cookies since I'm not baking any this year.
Don't you just love when you get to the end of a class? It's a great feeling.
That is dumb, listening to a teacher talk about what makes them so smart. Boo to that woman professor.
Yeah that school is almost out for Christmas break! And I'm excited to come to the City.
