lotsa things (for once)
first of all my computer is dead... my poor pretty laptop! well actually it's more like a vegetable.. no brain activity but the body is fine... we're awaiting a new brainmotherboard.. hopefully it will come in tomorrow!! i've been without my compy for a whole week!! can't take notes, or watch anime/dramas, download music, work on my papers...chat with friends til 3 am ^^;
it's a sad existence...
in other news, if anybody has an idea on a topic for a 8-12 pg paper ihave to write for my spinoza class, suggestions are welcome!! my first idea was shot down by the prof, so anything you guys could offer at this point would be very helpful... the paper is due monday -_- i suck at being prepared
i also need to get started on my paper for my women's studies class..which as much as i enjoy the readings i can't stand the actual classroom time... feminist rhetoric really irks me.. i think women should just live and work as equals in a practical sense instead of just talking about it and analyzing every instance of sexism.. u can only be oppressed if you let yourself be oppressed...end of story... of course i told this to my mother (who did her post-grad work in Women's Studies at the Institute of Social Sciences at The Hague in The Netherlands)... her response to my exclamation that i don't want to go to my women's studies class? "That's because you're a man. Only a man could dislike women's studies courses."
Strangely enough, i get that a lot... even from my best friend... should i be worried that the people closest to me think i'm like a man?
