Journal Entry for Feb. 9th

Running a bit late this week with my entries! This week I'm supposed to journal about interesting questions from my life. Since the normal instructor wasn't there this week (....hookey!...) our Sub Cecilia said that she thought he meant asked to me or by me.

So, going with the interesting questions from my life that were asked to me, I have to go with, I have no idea. After thinking about it for a while, I still have really no idea. I guess I'll have to go with the question I get asked all the time, why do I want to go into forensics. Actually, it's usually phrased like this: "Why in the world would you want to do that? You seem like such a nice girl."

Apparently, nice girls don't go into lines of work where they have to mess with dead things.

This question is interesting to me not because it's unique or overly thought provoking, but because it's on a topic that I find interesting. I could be missing the whole point of the journal assignment (if I am, I'll redo it, promise) but it is interesting to talk about, and I enjoy discussing it with people. They always seem really interested in what I have to say, so it really does inspire me when I discuss it with people. I always feel bad afterwards though, because eventually I get asked if it's really like on CSI, and people always look so crushed when I say it isn't.

Side note - I have a meeting tomorrow at Stephens. Hopefully it goes well. I don't have to be at my work study job until 1:30, so it's timed perfectly.
