What a day.
Today the weather has just been nasty.
Slushy snow and rain falling all day.
Had to wade my way through it to get to the train station.
And then once I got to my car I had to scrape off all the ice.
I have worked all day on this research paper and I am getting to the point where I am struggling to add more.
But I need like 1-2 pages more.
And this is single spaced.
The minute I got home I started talking to my cats.
I know that someone somewhere is chuckling about how much of a cat lady I am.
I don't mind it though.
Being at home alone with the cats.
The bia has been a pain.
The doc says she has to stay in the cage for 4-5 more weeks, and then the bandage comes off.
But she'll still have to be confined for a total of 2 more months.
I am trying really hard to keep the kitties on a diet.
It is just really hard.
They are so hungry.
Making all this noise ALLLL the time.
I think instead of feeding them once a day their whole meal I am going to split it up.
Cause that will make them easier to bear in the evenings.
I cannot wait until this quarter is over.
Really I only have that exam on monday and to finish these two papers.
I am really excited about the classes I am taking next term.
Biomembranes (this is like my area!)
Virology
Biostatistics
There are no good classes offered through my department.
That is why I am taking all of my classes through the bio department.
Sometimes I feel like I am really a biologist in an engineering program.
I guess there is a lot of engineering that I do but really I think more readily as a biologist.
The roof has been leaking in my office the past two times it rained.
It ruined someone's printer but mainly it hasn't been over my desk.
I probably should've covered my computer up.
I am not overly worried because its been leaking at the same places.
I went to the gym today and did the abs workout.
Then I bought a few things online so I can do the workout at home.
I am rather excited.
I know it sounds rather weird but I really love doing it.
I have been reading this book for a week and a half now.
And I'd really like to gets some opinions.
I know I am going to sound rather sexists for just a moment.
But they are just facts and they had an effect on my opinion but it may not on your.
Set up for the book.
Written by a male author
Main character is a male
Main character is a leper (if you don't know what this is look it up first) who is outcasted, left by wife, loses senses and is impotent (no male erection)
He lads himself in another world (could be a dream) where he regains his senses.
The people in this land think he's a hero
Then he violates the trust of a 16 year old girl and RAPES her (relatively vivid- her sobbing beneath him, blood)
He has a VERY short period of remorse which is essentially an after thought.
Then the mother (ignorant to this affair) must take the main character across the land.
During this trek she finds out that he raped her daughter.
And then is stern in this idea that he is some hero and must take him to a designated place and she takes care of him and drags him across the land with the notion that retribution will be given by the lords (not god) once they get there.
After a catatrophic even she instead gives up her change for revenge and hands him off and runs away.
Then this entire incident with the rape is not even mentioned again! (i am only 250 pages in).
So the question is: Could you continue reading this book after this happened? Could you forgive this character enough to enjoy any other part of this tale? Even if the rest was the most well written and exciting tale ever?
(Also, clarification, the fact that the author is a male does not signify that he wouldn't know what it means to be raped, but in many of these books a woman's virginity is her life- her gateway to a marriage and respect- so I am essentially appaulled by he lack in compassion and understanding to the loss of innocence of a woman and ALSO the events that occured with the MOTHER!)
