waiting for class...
So, this quarter is already kind of crazy. 2 comm classes and 2 english classes and work and such, so i've been busy. I was kind of bummed since i didn't get the TA i wanted for one of the english classes and instead got a crazy woman. She is THE stereotype of the over-the-top female activist 1960's women's lib movement college female. She talked for half the section about how she does not want us to wear deodorant or any kind of chemically scented products since it upsets students who have chemical/environmental sensitivities and diseases including asthma and such. So yeah, and she also created an entire other syllabus just for her section that includes a ton of queer literature, since she is a lesbian. I have no problem with adding one or two things and more power to her for being gay but she added like 15 additional readings and would not shut up about being a lesbian. She said "rug-munching" three times. Its bad enough when conservative professors take up class time to impress their own views upon students who have to be there, but its just as annoying when liberal people do this. I just wanted to go to the class to talk about modern literature, not rug munching and asthma. I have asthma, i don't care if people wear deodorant, she should have taken a poll or something before establishing her earth/people-friendly classroom policies. So besides that, my life is going more or less smoothly, school is already crazy and work is fine. Sadie is doing well and I am looking forward to getting a place in the next couple months or so. Anywho, hope all is well, -dana s.
