Not that it matters, but

I'm really sick of thinking about "what I'm going to do with my future". I could be doing so many more productive things with my time, like...I dunno, accomplishing something with my life. Or at least enjoying myself. Something!

If I was at school, I wouldn't be focusing on this. Maybe.

What with spending the summer interning for a newspaper, I've been thinking a lot about journalism. Of course, if I were the enterprising sort who thinks about my future, I would apply to The Spec to write articles or do something productive. But at the moment, The Spec is this behemoth that I'm too afraid/lazy to approach. Also, I'd like to give less-serious writing a try, in a place where people would actually see it...even if that would open me up to criticism. I could probably live with that.

At some point along the line, I want to find gainful employment that involves writing. I think that's one of the reasons why I like anthropology so much, and why I enjoyed "The Ethnographic Imagination" so much. The narcissist in me (and...well, pretty much every part of me) gets a little thrill whenever I see my name in print...even on an assigned paper for a class. When I see the writing, I think, "That's my name and one day, maybe it will mean something (good) to people other than my parents and friends."
