I was lucky enough to hear Hillary Clinton speak when she visited my school today. She is a wonderful speaker and wonderful potential candidate. I would love to hear Bernie Sanders speak in person also. And I got a selfie with her!

Sophomore Year So Far

So its week three of block one and for me that means I’ve already taken a mid-term, my final is on Friday and I have a 15-20 page paper due next Wednesday by noon. This block has been very interesting. I’m in Global Feminisms and so I’m exploring how women are affected by the patriarchy in different countries and how their society affects women’s movements and feminist movements. My paper is one Iranian women and the Iranian theocracy. I don’t know much about Iran or Islam so this will be an interesting topic for me to explore.

I have some very interesting courses this year.

Block One: Global Feminisms

Block Two: Philosophy of Feminism

Block Three: Christian Foundations

Block Four: Intermediate French

Block Five: French Conversation and Composition

Block Six: Modern Europe and Its Critics

Block Seven: The Protestant Revolution

Block Eight: Enlightenment: 18th Century French Literature

To be honest block eight is scary and daunting! But I really need it if I want to get a French Minor. You also may notice that I’m taking religion courses, that’s because, surprise surprise, I decided last year to add a religion minor. So that brings me to double majoring in International Relations and Gender Studies and double minoring in French and Religion.

I’m still taking piano and am also the vice president of Global Zero. I’m looking for more ways to get involved, nothing has really called to me yet, but am also just enjoying having time to breathe after working all summer.

This year, I don’t have a roommate. So far I’m digging having a room all to myself, something I haven’t had since I was two. I’m able to spread out and have things just the way I like them. I even have wall to wall carpeting!
