nirix5Wonderfully, Alisha is in my anthropology class.
Yesterday the professor- who rocks the fuck out, by the way- had us go around the room and say where we graduated, what our major was, and what we wanted to do. Instead of nattering on about my indecision when it was my turn (forensic anthropology vs. criminalistics) I just thought, "the hell with it" and announced to the class at large that I wanted to do FA at the University of Tennessee. The teacher damn near squeed and went on about how great it was for five minutes. At one point she brought up entomology, explaining to everyone that it was the study of insects and that they can use them to determine time of death.
All of a sudden- from somewhere in the back of a very packed classroom, someone pipes up...
"GRISSOM!"
And I was like OMG! Kindred spirit, heigh-ho!
Tried to locate the speaker and possible other CSI-nut, but with no luck.
Oh, and my criminalistics class is fucking awesome. I figure by the end of the semester I know which one I'll want to go into first- ET or FA. I think I'm going to wind up doing both, though. Criminalistics first, because I can do two years at Canton and get it out of the way without having to start over in another system and lose a bunch of credits. Then I'm gonna go chill on the body farm for a while.
Prof. said that if I want to go into FA I should get a BS in Anth. first, and then specialize in FA in graduate school. Seems like a good idea. Yay for anthropology, at any rate.
Boo for books being expensive. It hurts our bank account, precious, yes it does.
In other news: rescued Quinn from Camillus last night. WalMart continues to suck... this time because they didn't have the underwear I wanted in my size. However, I have new socks now. Go me!
