ethnographic ethnographer of ethnology

so yesterday was my first day of class.

i'm in love.

haha


it was the anthropology class, so i'm worried i might have to do some extra reading because i have absolutely no background in it, but i talked to the professor about it and she said she'd be happy to help me. it's an ethnographic methods class, which deals with interviews and oral histories and such, so i have to complete an ethnographic project.

so, hey sari, i think i might use your studio as one of my observations! i'm so excited.

and then sunday night i got to hang out with josh! josh, matt, and erik were in town to play a show....and amy was along with them. i missed them playing, though, because i was in statesboro until like 9:30pm. so i was exhausted, and i was just going to say hi, but when i saw them i changed my mind.

we hung out at the house for a bit...unfortunately the show had to end early because the guy's landlord came. eventually we made it downtown, which i don't know if everyone is up to date on georgia's liquor laws, but they don't sell alcohol on sunday and almost everything is closed on sunday. so downtown was pretty dead. we went to the mercury lounge, where the guys from the savannah band were supposed to be. they were already gone, and it was pretty empty in there, so we left. we walked by NV, a booty club. they had a sign that said "NO COVER. 1$ DRINKS." so they all wanted to go in. it was hilarious. it's just like i imagine plush would be. and the guy's bathroom had a huge waterfall in it, used as a urinal. INSANE.

i finished another purse. i made one for my grandma, because she really wanted one. she has really bad arthritis, so i made it pretty open and soft so it wouldn't hurt her hands. i thought i wouldn't be able to do it until after this semester, but i'm going to surprise her and send it to her now. i also did my first pocket! it's on the inside so you can't see it.



she's so funny. she left me a message the other night, and she just now realized that she could call my cell phone and that it wouldn't be long distance. i've been here since june! haha. it was great.

i'm off now to my next class, a seminar on organizations.
so, to be continued!
