my belated introduction

So I realized I never posted an introduction, so here goes..

I'm a 23 year old anthropology student at a local college in California. I've already finished a computer science degree along with a forensic certificate. I changed my major half way through to anthropology, and within the next year I will be transferring to San Francisco State University to finish all my undergraduate studies. Hopefully after that I will be able to enroll into a graduation school (UC Berkeley *crosses fingers*) to get my PhD in anthropology. I really enjoy studying human behavior and culture. I find it very intriguing.

I'm very interested in humanitarian issues and activism. I might join Peace Corps and go overseas for two years working with different humanitarian aid groups. I've been looking into doing similar things for some time now, and I've been trying to go to South Africa with my current college for the last two years, but I have been unable to raise enough money to actually go.. I'm poor lol.

I love music, but who doesn't right? I really enjoy industrial music and any sub / mixed genre within it. Aggrotech, ebm, dark wave, new wave, etc etc. The last month I've been listening heavily to Angelspit, Abney Park, and Ayria.

I am an aspie, and quite possibly have social phobia and ocd. I've been unable to receive all the proper diagnoses due to a lack of financial backing. It's quite expensive where I live to receive help from a clinical psychologist or neuropsychologist. As I posted in my first blog, I really have no friends. This is the biggest difficulty I currently face and hopefully I will be able to pull myself out of the depression it causes and move forward in life. My current goals in life are to get a PhD, get to Africa to do humanitarian / anthropological fieldwork, make at least one friend, and get a girlfriend who is also interested in these things (although I'm not sure how I will manage this if I can't make friends).

Not sure what else to write, I'm not so good with explaining myself in words.
