start a potemkin revolution

where is my summer going? i start my second class as soon as we get back from vacation; native american history, in celebration of my new status as an american indian! for those of you i do not speak to on a regular basis and anyone i do not know who wandered into my blog, i am now officially a member of the cherokee tribe. i know, it will be hard to continue reading this because you are so jealous that i have something of such value as a cdib card (certificate of degree of indian blood). after my card came in the mail i called my mother to tell her, i had to tell someone, and her first question was, "do you get casino money now?" my proud day of final proof of ties to my heritage and all anyone wanted to know was when the money was going to roll in.
i had already enrolled in the course before the card came in the mail, but that will not stop me from being a dork everytime someone asked about summer class and i repond that i am learning about 'my people.' we shall see how much of the class is about 'my people' and how much is just general history of all native american culture. it would actually be great to learn a bit about central and south american natives as well.
