i decided to not become amish
danny and i just watched a weird documentary about amish teenagers using their "years of freedom" to decide if they want to die amish or not. the teens were pretty stupid in the video but it is definately a hard decision to make. it said most of the girls make their decision between the age of 16 and 18. i am already past that age and i don't know if i could make a decision of that magnitude. i mean, it basically decides the rest of your life.
then again, i would never be able to be amish because of how sexist the religion and communities are.
had coffee with mary beth today. i always love talking to her because i don't feel like i have to censor what i saw or think like i do with a lot of people. also, she knows about all of the things i love studying and talking about relating to religion, politics, women's rights, etc. i left starbuck's re-energized about my future plans. also, i got an idea for my independent research project while i'm in mali. i want to study if, how and when children in mali become gendered and or stereotyped. i know i'll have to write a more specific thesis eventually, but that's the gist of it.
saw my sister's dress rehearsal today for charlie brown. she is beyond adorable, i am so proud of her! got to hang out with rick also, he always has hilarious stories.
finally finished with stats, government starts tomorrow and i am hoping it will be interesting................night to all!
