I got my midterm grade.

I got an A!

So now some of you are thinking, “That Veronica…” and shaking your head about how either dumb I am about my own work or how I’m all drama about my work. You might be a little right on both aspects.

But I gotta tell you that it’s been a long time since I’ve worked this hard to simply understand what is going on in the readings. Last semester was about rhythm and writing. This semester is about theory and writing. Yes, gender theory, which I’m familiar with, but GENDER THEORY! Goodness do you know how deep that can get *coughJudithButlercough* or how in circles your brain gets? “To imagine a world without gender, we must put gender front and center.” My highly scientific brain is also rebelling against non-empiricism theory. I get it, but I also keep hearing the little biologist in my head saying, “But! There is truth!” There are facts!” 

There is one fact I do need to wrestle with…And that’s the fact that my lit review is due in less than two weeks. Later.
