Money-Money.

shawnaree Feb 03, 2009 17:36

I paid off my surgery loan today. It was just a little over 3k. I had the money (student loan) in my savings, and the surgery loan is/was interest free until June, but I was constantly worried I would forget to pay it off. I figured it would be better for me to just pay it off, rather than keep worrying about it ( Read more... )

I am a peacock.

Today, my prof said I was a peacock. We were doing this "job personality leadership styles quiz" thing, and first, I told her that I didn't fit into any of the (unnamed) descriptors. She said, "you have to pick one from each category, and I said, "but I don't fit. It's not that I can't choose-- it's that I don't fit." She told me that I did fit, ( Read more... )

So, I've been thinking about how literature might be used to help refugee children heal from the wounds of their exile. At the Center, there are many many children for whom violence has always been the norm (one child actually tried to hang another with whom he had had a disagreement because "at the Camp, that's what happened to you if you said the ( Read more... )

I have a lot of homework this term. A lot.

I have too much stuff. Like, I've become sort of disgusted with the /amount/ of things that I own, especially those things that serve no purpose whatsoever. Things that I hang onto "just in case." I think I'm going to go through and anything I haven't touched since I moved to North Carolina, I'm going to rehome ( Read more... )

Get to the Point...

shawnaree Jan 21, 2009 15:16

So, I'm applying for the Point Foundation Scholarship.

They want my high school GPA (?) Anyone know where I might be able to find that without actually having to talk to anyone at my former HS? (Keep in mind that it's been... oh, 6-7 years)

Also, one of the essay questions is, "discuss your experience with marginalization (250 words or less). 0.o

Southern Snow.

It snowed on inauguration day in North Carolina. The University got put on a 2 hour delay and many public schools were closed for the day. A few stores around me ran out of bread and milk ( Read more... )

Feminism and Systems of Power.

shawnaree Jan 12, 2009 21:07

I've been thinking about feminism using the paradigm set forth by critical race theorists such as Gloria Ladson-Billings. Mostly, I've been clicking around links to various feminist blogs and reading some of the FAQs about why we should be feminists, and what feminism is, and I found this quote:

Mr Shakes): Feminism benefits us all ( Read more... )
