  • My Next Step In School

    I've decided that when I graduate with my BSW I'm going to apply to York University's Sexuality Studies Cirtificate Program! I'm so excited about it! It will help me narrow down what I actually want to do in social work!

    Here's the course description: A central mission of Sexuality Studies is to examine intersections of sexuality with ability, age, class, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, health, nationality, race and religion. Sexuality Studies takes into consideration sexual desires, acts, identities, communities and movements. This interdisciplinary field explores artistic, cultural, economic, geographic, historical, literary, political and psychological dimensions of sexuality, while also investigating sexual dimensions of arts, economies, geographies, histories, literatures, politics and psychologies.

    Sexuality Studies courses investigate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, intersexed, heterosexual and heteronormative identities and cultures, along with alternative ways of organizing sexualities and alternatives to sexuality, in the past, present and future.

    AHHHH it's gonna be so much fun!!!!

  • Numb Butt :(

    I've been sitting outside my classroom for an hour now. Class starts at 2pm and its only 1:10pm. I'm only this early because I had a group meeting at 11 today and that took almost an hour. I have to hand in my witchcraft essay in this next class. I hope I did ok on it. I don't think it sounds very 3rd university but I'll just have to wait and see. I watched  few esispodes of South Park which was amusing and I guess I could finish the last two episodes so I'm all caught up for this season.

    This was all written because I want to pass time! AHHHHHHHH

  • Witchcraft

    I've been working on an essay on Witchcraft in Elizabethan England and although I'm not surprised at what I'm finding its still shocking to really see how people thought back then!

    Here are some interesting things that I discovered that made my logic laugh:

    1. Accused witches would be dunked in water and if they they floated back up to the top they were condemed as witches! *Logic: Human bodies float! They even float after death for a little bit! This was definetly a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation1 You sink you die and if you float you die! This body floating would of been discovered if people actually went swimming ack then but I'm told people rarely went swimming because of the disease you coulf catch from the water and the fact that you could drown*

    2. If a witch said something mean (and in some cases something good) and something horrible happened to that person, even years after the statement was said, this person who made the original comment was accused of being a witch. *Logic: Seriously? I guess if I walked up to someone and said, "I hate you, go die" and that person actually died within a few hours or days of that statement it would look really weird  but years later? Especially back then when death was almost expected to happen every day!*

    3. Two Catholic men wrote a book in 1485 called The Malleus Maleficarum which basically said that women were witches because they are spiritually LESS than men! They even went as far as saying that the world "feminine" comes from two Latin words; "fe" meaning faith and "minus" meaning less! *Logic: that is a pretty cool coinicdence but clearly ma ipulated to meet the beliefs at the time. Seems weird that Catholics would seemingly forget that they worshipped female saints that were clearly more holy and spiritual than your average man and that with the Virgin Mary, who is female if you can't tell, then Jesus would never have been born!*

  • kaybaby666
    @tony_asian_tiger - i don't think i've ever done a big move although each move took me to a different city/town and i had to switch schools and friends
  • tony_asian_tiger
    @kaybaby666 - I think small moves are easier to make. Generally, people get scare for a big move.
