Throughout the last section of this semester I have been struggling with a plethora things stemming from the lost of my grandmother. While this is an excuse for nothing, with all the time the I took off from school all of these dates and deadline are running to me with nothing but haste. So unfortunately I found that the Women and Gender Studies events were beginning to dwindle upon my return but what I did attend was the Women and Gender Studies Day of Writing. This event happened to be the most helpful for me because I have so much to write. I have final projects and papers coming out of my ears. It was nice to just take the time out in focus, because my room is nothing but full of distractions. Initially when I read the words that Women and Gender Studies was having a writing day an opportunity for us to just sit and do homework, study, and write I thought it would just be chalk full of nothing but girls, but it seemed like I had misconstrued the email. Though I only stayed for a couple of hours, it was a nice mixture of male and female. It was nice to see that not only females were involved in this concentration of study, it was nice to see that it was not only women who were concerned with the betterment of society and the push for fair treatment for all people alike. It was a very comfortable environment to be within, it seemed very homely and personable. After taking this class and being within the environment of Women and Gender Studies it has become increasingly clear the importance of this concentration. I have also been thinking of becoming a Women and Gender Studies though it is kind of late in the game to that for me, I think it would be a very enjoyable and enlightening experience for my clinic. Since the issues and understanding of gender is on the rise for adolescents within our society at this time. Though I understand that this was an event where there were programming or a particular topic at hand but this was the only one I could make. If it is not acceptably as an event I more than understand.
