A little over a month till spring break. So I am thinking....yoga every am (except saturday because i have to do manual labor that day anyways) and a workout every afternoon. Yoga would help me get limber!!
I think I am going to try it.

Quick break to write a thought
School is pretty demanding once again. OK, it's not so much school as it is that I have classes, then a job, then homework, and that I am a little lazy. Sorry about that.
I finished all my applications to the schools that have fitting graduate programs for museum studies. These include IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis), University of Kansas, University of Denver, University of Florida, and University of North Carolina at Greensboro. As I told my family, I could be a jaguar (again), a jayhawk, a pioneer, a gator, or a spartan.
Although it was very hectic (and very money consuming) to get everything little thing together for the applications including the transcripts, the GRE scores sent, the letters of recommendation, etc. etc., the worst part is the wait!! I won't know where I am going until late March or early April. As Joe said, it's good that it's off my mind for a while, but I want to know who wants me and who doesn't!
I keep thinking of how I have to be a "big" girl next year and pay my own utilities, bills, etc. It's exciting, but extremely daunting, seeing as the economy still is and that anthropology isn't exactly the world's most wanted major. I'm working on a back-up plan as we speak just if things don't go my way. I'm hoping to work in a museum either way.
I'm starting to learn to budget properly (thanks Emily and Gus) with the money that I make. A little here, a little there makes the world go round, I suppose. Anyways, on a lighter note, I am reading some books on Native American culture and religion that are fascinating to me. I am reading them for a directed studies where I plan to do a paper on cross-cultural differences in native american mythology (hopefully).
I'm ready for mardi gras holiday in two weeks. I am ready for spring break also. I am just ready to be done with undergraduate all together. Oh, the plight of a senior!
I will let you know how it is going with the grad school situation. Hopefully, someone will find me fit enough to give me money and let me be in their program!
Love,
Ellen
P.S. Amanda, always believe in your miracles!
