Thursday, January 27, 2005 ( 5:00 AM ) shut up christine  time flies! i can't believe this picture is from two years ago thanks priya :) 
what the heck is going on people are ordering their caps and gowns already?? I feel like I just got here and I have a confession to make after four years of university edumacatization i still don’t know what sociology is I’m a dumbass!! sure...the study of society and social relationships but what is it really? if i had to summarize it, i wouldn't know what to say but i could tell you some interesting facts about the indigenous peoples of New Zealand… i could show you how to cite a research paper using APA and MLA style formats (ooh ahh)… and i can tell the difference between functionalist theory and that other theory whatever its called…okay nevermind I can’t hahaha but honestly does any of that matter? I just know it…once I graduate everyone’s mama is gonna ask “Sooo, what was your major? Oh, sociology? What is that? What are you planning to do with your degree?” Ahh please don’t ask me! I don’t know!! I have no freakin clue After 4 years, what have I learned? what the heck do i know I used to do fieldwork observations at an elementary school and on my first day an emergency came up so the teacher called me to the front, put the teacher’s manual in my hands and straight up left me alone in a room full of first graders…so I was supposed to teach an English lesson – how to use the past tense -- to a Spanish speaking class…kids were rolling around on the floor and poking my legs and making animal sounds… this was probably one of the hardest & scariest things I ever did… I screwed up so bad I was shaking because I was nervous…these cute little first graders devoured me alive and I practically cried when the teacher came back When I left the school that day I felt like a failure to the public school system but out of nowhere the brattiest kid in the class chased me down and gave me a hug i think sometimes you should just take a chance even if you’re unprepared, or scared shitless, or if you have no idea what you're talking about i think even if you fail miserably, if you bring all that you are to the table, sometimes you walk away with even more so there's my little lesson in sociology for you..free of charge haha i should listen to my own advice 5 months til graduation ahhh #
