Anfropology

I've come to realize that I'm not going to be regular with this whole "updating" business any time soon. Alas, I've come back. And update I shall!

• My muffler literally fell apart on me today, so my car is in the shop.

• I just finished applying at Circuit City, where I might pick up a side job. Yes, that's right; side job.

• I've been hired to work on character design for a cartoon pilot, as well as story book illustrations. I'm not going to say much about it, but I'm very excited and I hope everything pans out!

• Anthropology has been an interesting class, so far. I've got a big test on Thursday. It's a class that I can put my mind on autopilot, thanks to a couple mouthy students who intercept the classroom because they like to hear their own voices. That's ok, though. It just gives me more time to work on some sketches that I can bring home to polish.

In other random news, I watched a special report that centered around Amish teens coming of age. They are allotted a small taste of freedom. After that period of time expires, they are forced to choose whether or not they would like to return home and be sworn into the church, or abandon their previous lives in favor of the rest of the world.
I find it interesting that our world's values can so easily draw other people away from their own. I think I might focus my Anthropology paper on this subject.
