3 papers down...2 more to go!! havin ethno paper in a few hours time... & ritual paper tomoro. realise that im not really into anthro as i thot i would be. more of a sociologist at heart cos i guess i simply don't care enuf bout others' cultures.
i've always been amused with quotes by sociologists. an example would be the definition of dirt by mary douglas. dirt is matter out of place. simple, direct yet interestin if u ponder on it. it really describes everythin...like how many times i've felt like 'dirt' among ppl whom im not comfortable with since im matter out of place.
another interestin observation by loffland..altho it's a dated piece written by him...how he describes ppl havin a night life as adoptin a nocturnal life. can u believe that!? nocturnal!! he associated ppl to animals! maybe durin his time, only ppl of a certain background roamed the streets at nyte. found his description amusin. subcultures appear normal at nyte since there's less visibility, less control. 'normal' ppl at nyte appear abnormal. it's the society who defines who's normal & who's not & it's subjective to time & place. again, the use of 'dirt' by mary douglas can be used here, in my opinion of coz.
okay, don't think i'll go on further cos i don't wanna give a soci lecture or sth. but isn't soci juz so interestin?? i love it =) there's more interestin stuff to read & even more interestin observations made.
been up since subuh prayers...revisin for my paper later. been slpin late & wakin up early...oooh...this is def not good. been religiously applyin eye cream cos im afraid that my eyebags wil worsen over time. it's only visible wen i smile now. eheh...anyway, it's a gd habit to cultivate cos mie has repeatedly been remindin me to apply eyecream. hav been usin up hers anyway. haha...ex lar.
