I miei amici hanno organizzato una gita a una "spiaggia" (ammasso di scogli) dove non siamo mai stati. È stato avventuroso.

Per riuscire ad andare mi sono svegliata presto la mattina così ho potuto studiare il mio programma prima di partire.

Today I took an exam and got severe imposter syndrome afterwards

It also happens to be a very stormy and cold day (after a few weeks of dangerous heat)

So I am playing pretend that it's still october and school is just starting, to soothe myself

[studentessa-socit]

It's been exactly a week since weird shit happened in my personal life (kind of the university version of teen drama) that destroyed my will to study.

Now I have an exam in three days, I took space from last week's drama and the people who caused it, and I am ready to get back into studying.

Today's plan is to start preparing the topics I will be tested on for my political science exam, it's three main topics, I plan to revise and write a summary of two of them today, and the other tomorrow. Gonna update.

Update 1 (5pm): I arrived at the library one hour and a half ago and just finished preparing the first topic on the definition of "politics", the different approached to it (consensual and conflictual) and its different aspects (politcs, policy and polity).

Update 2 (its like 1 am now): oh ups sorry I forgot to update. Well anyway I did most of the second topic and then left the library around 7pm because I was starving. I ate such a satisfying meal, then hung out with friends (I can't survive without my daily social interactions, I need it to recharge, otherwise I get grumpy and lazy).

Took the morning off, already feeling so much better

[studentessa-socit]

I got some personal problems (nothing worth worring for, just some drama and existencial crisis) so i falled behind with my study-plan, now I am really struggling to get back into it and to actually finish things.

[studentessa-socit]

Mi sento appassionata ed entusiasta per lo studio, ho raggiunto il livello di approfondimento che stavo cercando da quando mi sono iscritta all'uni, sono fiera di me e mi sto divertendo tantissimo.

hello!! new to the blog, so i just wanted to ask about your thesis! what's the topic going to be? what are you hoping to explore? what made you want to look into this? :) 🩷

Hiii! Thank you for the ask I love getting them! 🥰

I'll put it under the cut because I'm about to yap

Ok so let's start with what made me look into this: I have a strong interest for gender issues, they are the main reason I got into sociology and have been the topic of a lot of my papers so far.

I really wanted to write my thesis about gender issues, and I wanted to take a culturalist approach. From there I chose the teacher that would be my relator, it was a easy choice since half of the teachers I had in these past years do not do cultural analysis, but take a more structural/quantitative approach. And among the ones that I had left I wanted to avoid the kind of relationships some of them build with students.

So I chose the professor who holds the Social Movements course, because of that my thesis had to be about Feminism (to relate her interest in social movements with mine with gender issues).

At first I considered writing it about the 4B movement but when I looked into the theoretical approach I had to take, I naturally fell into the "social movements' fragmentation" topic, and then I realized that the best and most interesting way to look into it is actually the TERF fenomenon, rather than the 4B movement.

So my thesis will be about how different kinds of exclusionism emerged in feminism since the second wave, because of how feminists framed differently what kind of equality women should get. All the way to the recent TERF narratives.

I feel the need to say I am NOT a TERF, actually what I aim to do is to identify what approach to feminism leads to trans-exclusionism, and to relate it with some the other ways feminism has excluded groups of women along its history, I advocate for intersectionality, but I won't explicity write it in the thesis, I'll let the facts speak for themselves (and for the incosistencies with the ""gender-critical"" approach).

[studentessa-socit]

Today I had a meeting with a teacher to outline my bachelor thesis, she'll let me write it about TERFs!!

Since I never study at home, I made my desk into a journaling station

Today I got up so late that I spent most of the day in a different dimension (it happens sometimes).

But I still got to university in the late afternoon to work on my quantitative research and was able to do a lot of work in just 1 hour.

After dinner I watched 27 dresses because I needed a romcom, then I went to an event in a very cool local bar, it was fun and also surprisingly relaxing.

Also look at my cd player!! It's a brithday gift I love it!

I started writing a paper for my next exam, it's the first quantitative analysis I'll do all on own. But I still asked a classmate I trust with this topic to meet for some feedback on monday, so I need to lock in (I don't want to end up on monday without an analysis to show her).

Next week I'll also have a meeting with my Social Movements class' teacher to outline my thesis.
