The Socialization of an Anthropologist
The party last night was fun and much-needed. I was finally about to socialize with the many colleagues that I’ve met over the past two weeks. The Mesoamerican archaeologists (the few of us that there are) sort of naturally gravitated together where we shared war stories, gossiped about the field antics of the professors, and even took some cheap shots at sociology. At the end of the night I walked away more convinced of the fact that archaeologists really do have the most fun out of all the subfields. Rebut if you wish but there’s no denying it. By the way, I went with Amstel Light and I wasn’t the only one. Tonight I’m supposed to go downtown to Tampa’s Cuban district, Ybor City, with my new friends but I have the distinct feeling that the hundreds of pages of reading I still have to do before next week’s classes wont read themselves. As a student of anthropology I have a valid excuse: “I’s just doin’ me an ethno-graphy.”
