we're going to need a LOT of beatings to improve morale after this
I have a proseminar today in which we're going to discuss feminism and gender. Just thinking about what my classmates will be like makes me gag. DO NOT WANT. We have something like three or four guys in the class, and I'm actually expecting them to be more or less thoughtful and able to contribute to the discussion. Some of the girls, though, view feminism through the prism of *Polish *second-wave feminism (as do a lot of people in Poland, really), and treat it like something icky and unfortunate and can't we just lock it in the attic and pretend it doesn't exist? If I had any herbal sedative pills left, I'd be popping them right now because I've got a feeling it's not going to be an easy class.
And then next week, we get to discuss masculinities and race, so THAT SHOULD BE FUN ALSO.
Add to that the frustration with people in my year who are all "oh no, they moved up grad school registration to the same time LITERALLY EVERY OTHER UNIVERSITY DOES IT, let's write a petition to postpone it till September because I already bought my tickets for the summer and because two months is not enough time to write a 600 word research proposal," this is definitely going to be A DAY. *breathes into paper bag, reconsiders the need for sedatives*
