This fall I will be going to Hunter College for an MA in anthropology. Some might think it's strange that I'm not going for art or education. Maybe that will be my next masters. But I've always been interested in anthropology and I figure it's about time I do something about it.
Not sure what I'll do with it when I'm done but I'll worry about that later. I'm pretty excited and nervous. There are so many classes I want to take but this semester I'll take Archeology, Medical anthropology, and Ethnology.
To show my school spirit I got a pair of short with the logo, I didn't like the style t-shirts and it's HOT so I live in the shorts. Well actually as soon as I come home I put them on.
I wouldn't say Hunter is the best school for an MA in anthropology but it's here and relatively inexpensive as far as colleges goes, since it's a state school. And I have met a few professors that I like. It also means that we will be here for 2 more years. Daniel's program ends next summer so we will have to see what that means. He'll be looking for professor jobs and if something amazing comes up he'll have to take or he'll try to get funding to stay on one extra year.
It's crazy to think we have been here for a year now. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary with my parents, brother, and his girlfriend. We went out to dinner and a show. How New York. It was kind of funny celebrating a one year anniversary when we have been together for 10.
Well I have to go shower and head off to work. We're having a field trip to the movies to see Harry Potter (i'm kind of excited, sshhh).

Hot town Summer in the City
It's 7:15am and it's already 90 degrees. It is suppose to get up to 101 today.
It's been a hot week. Yesterday there was a breeze, but it felt like Satan was blowing his hot stinky breath on me.
So our fans are blowing and we spritz ourselves with a water bottle. Keeps you kind of cool. The fire hydrants our broken open in our neighborhood but I have yet to jump in one.
I will definitely have to try it before the summers over. It's such a New York summer icon. Of course it's illegal to open them but the cops and fire department look the other way. It makes sense though, tensions rise when it gets this hot (anyone see "Do the Right Thing") and it provides relief. Not everyone can afford an air conditioner.
Just got back from work. We took the kids to Ripley's believe it or Not. They had a good time. It's up to 103 degrees, 90 degrees in my apartment.
I'm going to sit in a cool bath with a book.
