Gender

For some reason, I really like reading about Gender and its roles. Last semester, in English 1020, we studied a lot about it. I guess it's something that I actually understand compared to Marxism and Structuralism. However, the way these other topics are described in class, it doesn't seem as if there is TOO much to grasp from the concept. I always thought that Marxism was way too complicated for anyone to understand. My other English teacher always said don't worry about learning it, it's too difficult, so I never bothered with it.
Anyway, I'm interested in Gender. I like the reading on it and I'm excited as to what we are going to talk about in class tomorrow! I'm also focusing my part of the final project on Gender. I'm really nervous about writing 7-9 pages though.
Last semester, I had an A+++++ in my English class and my teacher said if I came to the rest of the classes and did "well" on my final project-which was a research paper on ZOMBIES- then I would get an A. Definately got a B+ in the class, even though I came to the rest of the classes AND got a B on my final paper, which had to be 8 pages, I think. I'm still really bitter about that. It's really hard for me to make length requirements and obviously from reading my blog everyone knows I'm anxious about everything.

Don't be anxious-- although that's easier said than done. nw
