Today was a very boring day, but I guess it had some good points. I didn't go to math today because the teacher had told us that he was going to go over the midterm and if we didn't care then we didn't need to come. That was nice because it meant that I got to sleep an extra two hours.
In my Jewish Studies class we got to listen to some very interesting music. I would suggest some of it although it is in Hebrew. The music video for "The Sticker Song" by Snakefish is especially good. Another song I liked was "Yo-Ya" by the Beehive, which I was able to find on Napster. The only reason I use Napster, by the way, is because PSU students get it free.
I decided I really hate women's studies because, well, I don't agree with anything much that the teacher is saying. I wish I was in a society in which women were still treated as property and didn't need to learn a profession to be worth something. I got my latest paper back today in which she said, "I think you think that you've proven a lot more than you have. You seem to make conclusions without adequately establishing your argument-this is the main problem with your paper." Well of course I didn't think I proved anything. Why would I want to make a point of something I don't really believe? Oh well, I knew it wasn't a very good paper to start with.
One thing that I did find myself contradicted on today was my wish to be lazy. In one of the Jewish songs was a Bible reference to Proverbs 6:6 which reads "Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise." I wish that this was not such a pointed statement so that I could ignore it. It totally blows my, girls shouldn't have to think and work, thought out of the water. I guess that's God's way of telling me to get over it and do something useful.
Seeing as my posts, although with some laughter, have been kind of depressing thus far, I think it is time to turn things around into a more optimistic light. Although I still believe that if you ask me I would still say that a glass half full of water is really 3/4 empty.
A way for me to communicate to you without the embarrassment of talking face to face.

You might try saying what you actually believe in your women's studies classes - If you don't agree with the teacher, then write your paper from the opposite viewpoint - she can't give you a bad grade for disagreeing with her.
