I had my first day of the new term today! Only had two classes, since PSU's shorter terms means you only take three classes at a time. Human Development was good, although once I got home and printed out the syllabus (she'd just posted it on blackboard) there were a lot of things she didn't mention on it and some of the things she
did mention were missing. So....we'll see. I liked the things she said a lot more. I don't want to walk around talking to myself and seeing how people react ;______;
WAIT I just pulled it out of my folder and she totally put the wrong syllabus up. WHOOPS. I think she's one of those people that's so smart she's kind of goofy and spacy. There's a lot of that at PSU.
Women's Studies is soooooooooo touchy-feely, woo-woo, new-age...you can imagine the rest. Since I grew up the daughter of a VERY staunch feminist (my dad, loool) I'm kind of used to this stuff. I didn't realize that learning about feminism from a dude made my persepective a lot different then other students. They were very lady-focused, not in an aggressive or isolating way, so when the teacher asked who feminism helped, most the class said "Women!!!!" That ain't the whole truth. The shit that women do because of feminism ends up helping everrrrrrybody. And that's the last time I'll get preachy about the people in my Women's Studies class. Overall they were on the ball about stuff, only one dude said something stupid, so no worries.
Anyway, like half the assignments in the class are just us talking about how well we're doing in the class. It's seriously to a wacky level. There are also six TAs which more then I've had in all my classes total since I got to college. For our final assignment we can do ANYTHING. Seriously ANYTHING. So many possibilities!!!!
