today was one of the best days of my life!

i...

*got an internship at an alternative elementary school

*hung out with 2 of my past ANTH TA grad students.

i chatted with them about:

marsh-landscapes, new zealand, mormonism,
tongan diasporas, epi-genetics, and
their constant hum of low-anxiety stress
and unhappiness, etc.

then when i told them i am
now an anthropology writing tutor they said:

"linda, i honestly can't imagine anyone
else who would be better at that than you"

and "i agree with heather,i can't think
of anyone else more perfect either."

then we talked about me going to
grad school for Education and they gave me
a tonnnn of ideas, suggestions
and trying to push me to do
Anthropology instead
but then they said
that if i cared about "happiness,
don't do it for anthropology,
definitely Education,
or combine them."

they also asked me for advice so i told
them my general philosophy for life:
that they had to try to be happy, healthy
and look at the overall picture.

*then at the backpacking club meeting,
i WON the rock-paper-scissors mega competition!
50 people were hysterically screaming and cheering my name~*~
