It's been a long time ("since I rock and rolled") since I last blogged, mostly because life suddenly happened all at once, leaving me to stagger and stutter because I simply cannot make decisions. These past few days I slept very little. How little? I was genuinely really excited when I realized I had slept a total of 5 hours straight last night, because it had been the first time in DAYS. There was also my huge last paper for Methods that included the use of statistics, which instantly means I'm going to wait until the last minute to do it, then panic, then finish with a conclusive "I. Don't.Care." which is highly unbeneficial in regards to a required class.
But now it's done.
huzzah!
I really have nothing to write about. I'm unexcited to return home for two weeks of being around family.
So, here's a list of the GOOD things about Christmas break, in no particular order:
1. Christmas parties: sleeping on a friend's floor in an awkward sweater, in a state of post-christmas caroling/ wine/ cookie bliss. That's pretty good.
2. Having Christmas/ Hanukkah themed cookies and movies for December(and maybe January)
3. Sleeping in. All of the time. Yes.
4. Feeling twice as good about yourself when you work out. I mean, who works out over the holidays?
5. umm...scarves. Yes, scarves make winter better in general.
...
yeah, that might be about it, for the general public....
oh, also snow makes winter better in general too.
Even with all of the music and lights, Christmas can't hold up to Halloween as well, but that's ok, because without it, winter would be boring.

Why I Can't Go Into Communications (no offense to all those com majors out there!)
So, upon realizing that my archeology class is my favorite class EVER (after philosophy of science and possibly Anthro 111), I also realize that truly, I KNOW NOTHING. Not only is this because I spend my waking hours watching youtube videos of surprised kittens and men that can sing like women, but also because I trusted The History Channel for the first 18ish years of my life.
My initial disillusionment began with the appearance of shows like "Ice Road Truckers" and "Axe Men" and "Poorly Written Documentaries of UFO and Sasquatch Conspiracies Which Include People Saying 'I Seen It'" and finally "Poorly Translated Qoutes from People Who Claim to be Historians/ Anthropologists/ Experts in WTF?". But finally, with seeing shows that claim that the pyramids of Egypt were actually mathematically placed to warn us of 9/11, I can finally say: "F#%@ you History Channel and your 'merica! as well!!".
That's right, I went there. Put that in your pipe in smoke it, Overly Patriotic Dimwits. (Imagine all that in a British accent, it's acually hilarious).
Really, all of these "education" journalism channels are just spewing as much shiza as believable to the truly naive to make a few extra bucks. If you follow this blog more, you'll most likely find our about my opinion on how Capitalism has affected our culture and ideals until truly, we become pessimistic little money shells that don't believe in magic in the world beyond that of sparkling vampires who lack a personality, [and that's only for the teenagers/ppl that have a problem with sexuality anything in American literature today(once again another topic I will inevitably get to)].
I've decided I'm now going to spend my usual Project Runway time in quiet contemplation of how much is wrong with our culture until I am successfully hippy and 'passionate' enough to have an actually thought-out opinion instead of just disliking Westernization without a real argument. Also, because I think there is so much wrong, this will take awhile. Also, because of my minor Anthropology training, I think that there really isn't any such thing as right or wrong, only culturally significant differences in values, to be wieghted only by society and even individuals w/in said society to fir thier own needs and to get by with generally socially acceptable means. This said, there I will probably just think myself into a little 'Nothing/ Everything is relevant" corner until I'm drooling and have gone into emergency shutdown mode in which I will make myself more Mac'n'Cheese and watch more Family Guy, just like last time.
Or maybe I'll just go read Harry Potter.
