Uhhh, Feminism?

Uh, oh. Not the F-word.

Actually, yes, the F-word. People's aversion to the word feminism is kind of perplexing (if not somewhat obnoxious). So why the hate and claims of anti-feminism?

I haven't done any in depth research on the origins of feminism, nor have I taken a college course relating to it or any kind of gender studies. But it takes a very small amount of time and effort to find out what a majority of feminists campaign for. The internet is a vast place, and there's boundless sources of information out there to draw a conclusion from. In my own experience and perusal of the glorious and supernatural interwebz, I have found that feminists generallyyy care about people as a whole.

Parenting and Patience

Parenting is one of the hardest things any person could ever undertake. And the number one tool to get you through the years is patience.

I am by no means an expert, whatsoever. In fact, I have little to no patience with small human beings. I can usually manage better when they're not my own, while my own child must bear the force of my unwavering frustration and stubbornness.

Oh, the behaviors we inherit...

Point is, I had a moment yesterday.

Post-Washington

Eeeek! It's been... well. It's been almost two months since I last updated. As my son likes to say, "Whoopsie!"

My vacation in Washington was fantastic and way too short! But before I get into that, I should say that I had my job interview before I left, and I did get the position! I also aced all my final exams, ready for a fresh start with my program change this fall.

Waiting in line for hotel and meal vouchers.

Now, Washington... Goodness, it was so much fun. And not to worry because I have plenty of pictures for proof!


My physical trip to get there was an adventure. My flight out of Indy arrived a couple hours late, so when I finally got to Denver, there were no more outgoing flights to Seattle. I ended up having to stay overnight in Denver.

Late flight.
