Boston Update

Hello all! I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things have been a bit hectic--moving, starting school, and starting a new job are all time and energy consuming. I have taken quite a few pictures but I have to get them off my phone and today is not going to be that day. Sorry!

I'm not sure I've specified what I'm doing. I'm currently living in Boston, attending Simmons College in the Gender and Cultural Studies MA program. Do to some SNAFUs I had to get a new job and I am currently working at a coffeeshop. I really enjoy it and it's something new and different. As far as school goes, my program is two years long. I'm taking the required gender theory course and a race theory course right now. Both of these are really interesting and I'm learning a lot already. (For example, lesbian communes are simultaneously the way to end the patriarchy and not the way to end the patriarchy. The truth resists simplicity.)

I'm making friends in my program and I like where I'm living. One of the hardest parts has been relying on public transportation to get places, instead of being able to go wherever I want almost whenever I want. Although I have some practice with that, it's still an adjustment.

This is a picture of the Washington Statue in the Boston Public Garden that I took a few weekends ago. More pictures soon I hope!
