Another day at the job

Haven't made it home just yet, and I'm beginning to feel really sleepy. So let's see wat was on todays schedule....

930-1045 Women's Studies: Cross-Cultural perspective

My teacher is officially hilarious. Maybe some wouldn't think of it as humorous because her brutal honesty may offend some people, but I myself find her exteremely fascinating. It is hard to sum up what happened today but I'll try. So my teacher asked the class what we thought of the reading. The reading was by a black woman basically arguing that because whites are priveldged, they tend fight for feminism tends to be more about race and class rather than sex. She argued that we needed to focus a lot more on sisterhood, and put an end to the racial issues. Majority, if not all of my class is white. When asked about the reading, they all said stuff like, it was bad, real one-sided, and stuff like that. They seemed like they were in defense mode. As the lone black person in the class, I sat there feeling the complete opposite from what everyone else saying. The author spoke as a true woman who was oppressed. And the reactions from my peers seemed to fall right along the lines of what she was saying. So after people spoke their opinion, my teacher crosses out what they said about the reading, and said, "Your all wrong". I thought to myself, wow. My teacher told my class that they all got offended because subconsciously, they knew the author was talking to them. She said they everyone in there was were white priveledged women, who cannot see what it is like to be oppressed because of your race. I wanted to stand up and clap. Never in my life would I expect any teacher to say anything like that. And it was true. To have your educator tell you that your priveledged and it might help to open your eyes and try to see it from the other side, can be a bit scary or releaving. To everyone else, they were offended. Myself on the other hand, I felt...well, defended, and a little releaved. My professor was not trying to put anyone down, or put anyone else on a pedistool, she was simply saying that life is about critical thinking, and we all should be able to critical think. I loved it.

Quiz day... So before he handed out the quiz, he said that it was open note, open book, and we can work in groups... How freakin sweet is that?? Because I felt beyond prepared, but after going over the quiz, I probably only felt comfortable answering 1/3 of the questions accurately without any notes or anything. Seemed to be the reaction of the class, but who can complain when we pretty much have permission to cheat. Put it like this, if I didn't get an A, I'll be pissed.

Locker Room time with my teammates and eating. I swear the people in this athletic facility will have you in tears. Today is was my track girls. Can't blast anyone but let's just say we had a ball today talking about people. It's really a habit that we should all try to break, but when stuff is funny its just funny. Lord forgive us, we mean no harm.

Individuals... I had something to prove to myself today after that last workout. I feel I did it. I was mentally locked in and ready to go. As a team, let's just say I cannot wait until our opener, we are going to be something to watch. Aside from my ball handling, which has always been a challenge, I left the gym with my head up. Everyday is another day to get better. I have a long way to go if I want to be great. Trust, I'm working on it, it doesn't stop here. As for my team, we are right around the corner from accomplishing greatness. You can see the fire in our eyes, in our coaches eyes, we will be ready. So after some shooting, ball handling, passing drills, we finished up the workout with some 3 on 3 stuff. Smells like season to me.

Ice bath!!!!!!! yes, my legs feel refreshed. Contrary to what people may say or think, ice baths feel great! They seriously only hurt for like 30 seconds, but after your in there, you won't want to get out. Gotta try and keep these legs young and fresh. Sidenote: can't believe I'm 20!
