... contemporary theory

so i am an anthropology major (way cool i know!) and one of the classes i'm taking this semester is a theory class. basically, we are studying 'the social construction of reality'.... sounds cool doesnt it? well.... it has really caused me to look at my life in different ways and lately, well... i've been feeling a little...... homeless. i no longer feel at home in north carolina, utah isnt home and new york is a far off dream. so... where is home? i dunno.

in one of the readings for theory class, the author says "i remain without inhabitable places in which to remain". hm..... so basically, i'm living yet i dont have a place in which to live. try wrapping your mind around that one!

anyhoo, this sense of homelessness has caused me to look outside of myself.... to look at the big picture. "where is home?" i think to myself. will it be grad school in boston or london? will it be in ghana? will it be some other place ive never dreamed of? who knows! i'm excited to find out though.
