I just reserved my plane ticket for the Bahamas (concrete plans are scary!!).
I sent an e-mail today to Bostons food not bombs. I think it would be cool to work with them. Hopefully they get back to me. I also sent an e-mail to a group of people about living in a coop next year. I think it would be fun....community living. I dont know that they are looking for a student though...especially one who is funded by there grandmother (kind of anti-coop really)....but she believes in me...and my education.
I am taking a class called "gender in a changing society". It is really interesting....I have been thinking a whole lot about gender for the last couple of years, and the more you think about it the stranger it seems.
I am curious.....How do you see your gender? When did you become aware of it?
I think I have taken my own gender questions as far as I can right now....I keep hitting this wall of femininity....re-working old ideas and perceptions is hard...
I have to write a paper, interview someone on their gender. I am thinking of doing my siblings. We were all raised by the same two parents but all have verg different ideas of gender and the way we express it...or I was thinking of a couple, nat and chels if they would let me, because they defy gender stereotypes and roles....right...what do you think?
