Happy V-day

While it has been a week since my last post nothing really exciting has happened to report. I am spending this weekend up at Worcester with Eric, which is nice. I got the rest of my present from him which was quite cute. Martini glasses, vodka, Pom juice and hot coco with marshmellows. I think he just bought me the gift so he could enjoy it. But thats quite alright with me.
I'm also spending this weekend doing a lot of reading for Psych of Women which is also fine by me. I am really enjoying this class and I recommend taking it, especially with Dr. Richmond aka Kate. She really has a way of getting the class to think and discuss the material. It is also a class where you are forced to think about difficult topics that relate directly to your life. Each class we keep trying to form definitions but we still do not have a definition of Women, Homosexual sex, and desire. I'm really surprised how open everyone is in talking about what could be very sensitive material.
This class has also forced me to rethink the research I have done and the research I am doing. I spent an entire year researching motherhood and childcare without thinking about the perspectives and feminist theories related to it. My current research of "perceptions of art" is also directly related to the course altho I cant discuss it for another 2 or 3 weeks.
My most exciting news is that I am going to be presenting my research at a psych convention. It is super exciting because APS is a top Psychology society, so top psychologists and people I read about in textbooks will be there. My partner and I will be doing a poster presenation so it wont be a talk but psychologists from all over the US can come see my work. The only thing that really sucks is that its in San Fransico and its gonna be really expensive to go there. Muhlenberg's travel budget for students is practically depleted, but we were lucky enough to get $250 out of the $950. O well.

Well thats pretty much it for now.
Happy Valentine's Day to all my loves!
