Not much to report again
I'm having a difficult time with my Women and Gender studies course this semester. It's focused entirely on theories and the process of theorization. And I for one am not very good at this at all. I don't really...get, what any of the readings are trying to say. Then when I get to lecture or seminar, and everybody else seems to be having such an easy time of it? Or when the professor says something like "this is a very clear reading" or "it's obvious that this is being said", I just sit there and think to myself "Okay, so, I guess I'm just stupid?"
My reading week is coming up next week. Maybe I'll just sit down with the text and go over it all again until I _do_ understand, so that when I get back, I might have an easier time of it.
But I guess I should ask; does anybody else have trouble with theory? We've handed in two papers now, but I've only gotten feedback from the first, suggesting that I'm not getting at the core concept and could "benefit from a closer reading". Problem with that being I don't understand what I'm reading, so ya. I'll get it, eventually.
Trying to convince myself to leave the house lately for anything outside of school has been...ineffective. My goal is to go to the Vagina Monologues when they start up...next month, I believe they're coming here.
Having one of my monthly identity crisis's...crisis'...for a part English majour, I really need to work on this.
Somebody start a restuarant with me. A slow-paced one. So we'll be constantly under stress and have to bend over backwards to make ends meet but we'll be cooking and we'll enjoy that.
