The "F" Word

I've been realizing that being in this class has affected the way I view the world, and other things around me in a new perspective. I question peoples actions more often, I think more often, I even catch myself viewing movies differently, almost like in a different light. I'm not a shy person, I would consider myself more of an observer though. I want to be able to talk, and bring things up in class, but to be completely honest, all last week I was sick, and feeling horrible, so I wasn't caught up on my reading. I'll be prepared to tackle a question, or have a response for the next class. I talked to my mom this weekend about my classes, and how this class has made me a feminist, I had to break it down to her, because although she is a hardworking women, and is one of the best women I know, she really needed explaination, on why I thought that. She, as many people believe, thought the worst, when they think of feminism, a sterotype, if I may. I clearly told her, that of all people, she is a feminst as well, if she believes in equality, and it changed her mind, right that moment. Not that I'm trying to convert everyone into being a feminist, it's just when I'm passionate about something, and learn something new, you can't get me to shut up about it. So, I take it that this class is only going to make me a stronger believer in the "F" word.

mr. brightside

Hello. I'm Jordan, obviously... Some of my friend call me Jo, others call me MJ, (except my mother, she would never do such a thing.) I'm a very outgoing person, sometimes a little shy though. But it doesn't take long at all to get me to come to the surface. I love being independent, and out on my own. Although, I do miss my hometown, I love Bowling Green. Everything about it. I have the best friends a boy could ask for, and would consider myself to be completely optimistic. I haven't always been happy, and I'm not always happy. I'm human, so there are times that I'll get in bad moods. Certain things can really bring me down, I'm trying to work on that, but it takes time. Music defines me. I coul sit and listen to music all day, everyday. I can't function correctly if I'm on campus, walking around without it. Everything is put into a different perspective. People move differently, the sounds around me aren't the same. It's weird. But whenever I have my ipod in, and the music is just flowing, although no one else can hear it but me, it's almost like the world around me is being debuted in a music video, and they're not even aware of it. Stuff like that goes through my head. My mind is dangerous, and I'm very, very, very random. Get to know me, get me to talk, most likely I'll have something on my mind. If I had to choose a favorite class, I honestly think it would be this one... Because I have a feeling that it's going to be completely comfortable, and we'll all be able to say whats on our minds. I guess that's all I have to say for now. :)
