I am finally having time to update my blog after an extremely crazy week--once again. I don't know why I do this to myself, but I must really like self abuse. I work 8-5 and have rehearsal from 6:40-10 at night. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I teach lessons before I head to rehearsals. I know I am crazy--one benefit about being so busy is that I have no time to hang out with friends so I am not tempted to spend absolutely any money on useless things.
I do have my last general education class at the UO this term. It is a sociology of women class. It is a marginally interesting class that truly has boring lectures, but after talking with one of my class mates I see that it is one of the more exciting lectures she as...........scary thought--at least to me. I give you all of this information because on Wednesday this week we were surprised with a movie. Usually this is very exciting to hear; however, this is most definately not the case. On this sad day which makes me never want to learn again, we got to watch the most horrifying video of all time--it was about female circumsision in Somali. That's right. you heard me. It was absolutely depressing and horrifying. Many girls ran from the room either A: about to throw up or B: crying hysterically; being me and taking I watched the entire thing trying to understand the perspective, and even though I understand that it is a part of their religion and culture--I believe it is completely wrong and really respect the people that are working to try and change this awful action that is being committed against women. I mean OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
