Civilization

The thought of being stuck in school for a very long time does not frighten me. I find it more saddening than anything else. Convincing myself that it is in my best interests in the long run is the important part here. Whether I like it or not, my profession forces me to get a Ph. D in order to get anywhere in the discipline. No one wants to be in school for ten years. Even as I write this, I'm pretty much telling myself, "oh well dude, can't really do much." I think the difference here is my love for Anthropology. I feel like there is so much I still have yet to learn about the world, that it makes my own Mexican-American culture seem so bland and boring. So many people don't really think about how much our culture actually plays into effect in the way we as people act, judge and rationalize. It's really crazy. I want to say so much more, but I need to keep studying for my Critical Race and Theory midterm tomorrow. Smell ya later everyone.
