(A)musing anthropologist

Boomsday- Christopher Buckley Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert Pirsig

I WISH I knew when Universities started sending out decisions, maybe I would be able to relax then (not likely). This whole process has made me a little neurotic... Mostly I'm doing the same thing everyone else seems to be when they find that life as they know it has completely changed (i.e. you graduated, and now you can no longer complain that you don't have any time...) 1.Trying to be a better friend (since as some of you have already noted) I don't have an excuse to be a hermit, whose only tan was from the light of the computer screen... 2.I have started reading all of those books on my shelves that I have stared at longing during the semester and then didn't have the energy or mentality to pick up on breaks (simply because I didn't want to engage my mind since I was supposed to be on break)... 3.I've been giving my living quarters a much needed and thorough clean, and subsequently purging it of things that I don't think I need, or want to have to pick up and move (given I get into to grad school)... 4.Working, of course, almost incessantly to try to fill up my free time and sock away some extra cash for my (hoped for) move... 5. Oh yeah, did I mention neurotically checking my applications/email?

I would like to start a blog... I have recently graduated with my bachelors and have subsequently found that I don't know what to do with my time now that my applications have been submitted. Between school and work I never really had the time to do anything I wanted to unless I "made" the time to do it... now I think I might have too much time on my hands (isn't that a song?) At any rate my mind wanders onto random and unrelated topics like "Do they have to plow train tracks?", "Do pharmacists have to have malpractice insurance?" "Why does my cat seem to have more of a social life than I do?" (it was at that question that I realized I needed a creative outlet...) That being said, I need a creative outlet and something to keep me from neurotically checking the status of my applications... Sincerely (A)musing anthropologist P.S. Is there a rule of thumb for allowing oneself the title of "Anthropologist" when all you have is a bachelors?
