So, the biggest bug that’s been zooming around my head recently has been the one that says “Go to Grad School.” “Study for the GRE.” “Get off Yo’ Bottom!”
And it’s true. I really do need to continue my education to a different level. I love learning, I love school and I miss them both greatly. And with that comes the decision making of what kind of school exactly do I wish to enroll in. While Anthropology is my love, what I truly want to do with it is more related to Journalism rather than being a full blown Margaret Mead (Oh, how I’d love it!). But I think what I’d love, even more, is getting involved in Children’s Television Programming. Think PBS or even the Travel Channel and I could produce Travel Documentaries geared towards kids of families. Oh, dream jobs.
To me, this sounds wholly communications/journalism driven as far as a master’s goes, so today I have taken my first step in requesting a meeting with an advisor and professor at NKU to discuss their MA in Communications program.
Stellar.

Hey Earwig,
I’d glad to hear you’re taking a new step in life! I’ve been thinking about grad school on occasion. I love school, too, and sometimes miss it. Who knows what to do.
Hey, thanks for the email. I miss you and your friendship…you are one of the best! We had a great run, didn’t we? Anyway, I have to let you down with the news that I won’t be back in Obamaland for a while, and if I did come back, it would be for Hanukkah, not Christmas. My contract as a teacher at Senaprasit Secondary School expires on 27 February, and I’ll be out here backpacking for a month or so, until I go to Australia finally! I think that’s the plan…but Obama’s victory didn’t help. How could that black hole of charisma manage to edge out The Greatest Pair of Presidential Candidates in the History of the World? America won’t be worth a return if Sarah Palin is without a chance of being president…maybe I’ll just have to wait four more years. Hrmph. How’s shit? I will talk to you later because I don’t know if I have answered any of your questions.

I can’t wait to hear how your meeting went. I love your dream jobs and think you’d be fab at them.
I’m with you on the Margaret Mead thing. That’s one thing that was solidified this semester: I don’t think ethnography is for me.
So many more thoughts on school, but I don’t think I can muster the energy at the moment. We shall discuss.
