So, an update of sorts.
My classes are going well. I am fighting a nasty case of senioritis. Anyone who ever thought that it only happens in high school, is totally wrong. It is kind of sad that it is only 3 weeks into the semester though. Oh well.
I am excited to do my required service-learning for my Women in Society course.
Life-wise, there just isn't much going on. Sometimes I feel like my life is just breaks in-between doctor's appointments. I am feeling better, but it just going to take a lot of time before I feel like I can function normally. Let's hope it is sooner rather than later!
It is Super Tuesday today. I'm not voting. Amazing. It's weird not even being able to vote, but even if I wanted to I couldn't. I didn't request an absentee ballot (since I am registered at home, not here in Buffalo). Since I don't have a party affiliation, I am pretty much sitting pretty. I really only want to vote when it actually matters. When we are down to people who are eligible to be voted President. I don't think I phrased that correctly, but whatever. Okay, and voting always matters. I just don't think voting for who to vote for is THAT important. I just want them to figure it out already.
I will die if Mitt Romney gets the Republican ticket. I don't think it will happen, he has two really crazy idiots to fight to the death against. But I would die. Not literally of course, but metaphorically.... I'll die. It mostly has to do with him being Mormon, and it isn't because I don't know what they believe in... I just would want to jump out of a window. I dislike all the Republican candidates, but Romney just gets under my skin. (I have a thing about men who try to take away my reproductive rights. Call me old fashioned, but get the hell away from my uterus.)
Speaking of election nonsense, I found this website;
Vote-Smart. It has all sorts of information on people who are candidates for any government office. I found the site because I have to do a presentation on one of the candidates and compare their voting records with what they claim their position on certain issues are. So, the site has voting records. I found it interesting how often, government officials don't vote on issues. There are lots of NV (No Vote... Absent, Abstain) next to some politicians names. It seems like since they hold an office and the people who elect them are expecting them to do their jobs.... they don't get to be absent or abstain from a vote. I don't get to abstain from class assignments or be absent from work, why do they?
Anyway. Enough of my political ramblings. Right now, I am going to go do something productive. I don't know what, but I am going to go do it.
I went and saw The Vagina Monologues with my mom on Saturday. My sister was performing in it, she did "The Flood". It was amazing. Not just because my sister was absolutely fantastic as a Jewish woman from the Bronx, but because the whole production and all the monologues are amazing. We saw A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer earlier in the day, but it just doesn't have the same, I don't know... it is a lot more depressing. There are no humorous parts to offset the poignant ones. It is just all so serious. That and none of my favorite stories from the book of MMR&P were performed. Except for "My House is Wallpapered With Lies." Even then, I wasn't all that impressed with it. I don't know. Maybe because when it is performed, it just lacks the energy of The Vagina Monologues. I still strongly recommend that everyone should read BOTH The Vagina Monologues and A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer. Just because the latter didn't translate into a production very well, doesn't mean that the stories are lacking in anyway. Some of my favorite stories are in there, so go read them!!
