puszysty at 09:23pm on 20/04/2009On tonight's ep of triple D, Guy went to a Basque restaurant in Boise, Idaho. I find that all kinds of bizarre and awesome. Basque in Idaho, who knew?
Been thinking about grad school while I sit at work doing...not much. I'd been considering anthropology, and while it still sounds interesting, working at a legal office is making me think about law school. I'd want to do immigration law. I applied for the customs and immigration service more times than I can count (we all know how that worked out), so it's definitely something I have an interest in. I wonder if there are any books by people who've worked in that field before. Most of what I can find on "immigration law" is client based, as in, what do you have to do to get a visa/green card/whatever.
I'm currently reading a book written by an anthropologist. A real beginner's sort of thing, on a couple of his theories. His main point seems to be that culture is solely a product of the environment and practical circumstances, which I don't necessarily agree with, but it's an interesting take. I can see where this guy must push a few buttons with a number of people.
Anywho, I don't know if it's just the way this particular author makes it, but I wouldn't want to objectify culture in that way. I like learning about, observing, and experiencing culture, but it's not really all that interesting when you take the people and their feelings about their culture out of it.
I have career objective ADD, that's certainly for sure. There isn't one particular thing I can picture myself doing, just a couple things I know I definitely don't want to do. If anybody out there is in school and not doing so well in certain subjects? It's a blessing, trust me. I realized back in high school that being good in every subject tends to leave you a bit directionless.
