Finished my 31 page long forensic anthropology final exam the page count of which does not include the three full-length and ridiculously in depth essay questions. It took twice the estimated time and I've been looking at a screen so long I feel like one of those bog bodies with extensive adipocere formation that look weirdly preserved and yet exactly like you'd expect someone who was submerged in a bog for an extensive period to look. Maybe a 20 year PMI.

#forensic anthropology #college #hal rambles #things like this remind me of how much of a better fit forensics are for me than criminal justice #every criminal justice class is like 'okayyy i wrote a paragraph on only shooting people when they look scary where's my A'#(slight exaggeration but only slight. it's awful)#whereas forensic classes are like #'if you can't explain every current statistical validation issue in any of the subfields we'll be covering in order to explain this one #niche post-mortem scenario then dop the class now because we're for special-interest havers and people who speedread entire textbooks ONLY'#i like that #i always feel like 'the evil is defeated!' whenever i finish a huge project or exam because Man sleep is nice but still #the exception is fingerprints. it's all discourse and i mean there are internet discourse level things about fingerprints and every question #is about that #UNLESS it's asking you to actually do comparisons which is Worse. fingerprint examiners have done some evil to land themselves in that hell #the evil is called 'confirmation bias' and 'we have a backlog. I'm sure 5 points of similarity is fine' (it's not)#and i have to hear about it EVERY CRIMINALISTICS-CENTRIC CLASS along with like. basically callout posts for practicioners who are still #working???#i don't like that #I'm never becoming a fingerprint examiner. not happening. I'd sooner sift bone fragments out of dirt for weeks
