Adjustment

It wasn't a very eventful week, which is why there is a lack of update.  I've mostly just been going to class and doing a lot of reading for it.

On Thursday, though, Carolyn's parents came to visit her and took me out for dinner at the hotel they were staying at.  They were really sweet!  It was nice and the food was yummy.  I had fish and chips for the first time.

I stayed up to finish reading Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde and to talk to Janet.  I don't think I fell asleep until at least 4:30am.  I had to get up at 8:30am to get ready for my class at 10am.  And I had lectures and seminars all day.

I really do not like how some things are run here.  During my Gender and Women's Studies' seminar (discussion), we were told to bring in something that showed class and gender, be it an advertisement, newspaper article, or a book or movie.  I chose The Help.  We were going around sharing and commenting.  I really enjoyed this discussion, but when it got around to the girl sitting next to me, she cut me off and skipped my turn.  Now, I understand that she is running the class, but students should have some say in what they would like to discuss.  I think it was rude that she cut me off and skipped my turn when I put the time, thought, and effort in the assignment.  And besides that, we simply moved on, ignored the activity altogether and started to just talk about what she wanted.  It felt like she didn't care about our opinions, she just wanted us to know hers.  Why would she have us do this task if she didn't want us to have an in depth discussion about it?

Anyway, I was pretty upset over the whole ordeal.  And frankly, a little disappointed.  I don't feel like I learned anything.  It was honestly just a waste of time.

I finally managed to download the 18th episode of City Hunter.  I plan on making a cheese toastie and eating it in bed with some tea while watching City Hunter.  Yay!  It's the weekend.

Cheers! :)
