We talked about how Moses was totally different that Galli in that he showed the civility of the conversation between Francis and the Sultan. I didn't really notice it because i read them so far apart. I thought it was an intestine contrast.

The first most important would be enlightenment about the differences in thought about women in other countries. I always new the differences but I just thought it was stupid but we talked about the reasons and the feelings of them and how they look at it. The next one was the thoughts of true chivalry. That it was kind of sexist in the reasons. Like a woman should wait for a man to open the door like we were helpless. I never realized that. I just thought it was to impress us but it was kind of oppressing and now I understand feminists a little bit more even though I still like the door opened for me.

Article

BBC news website. Afghan women's rights under threat, say UK charities published October,3 2011

This article is awesome because it sheds light on the problems in the middle east we don't usually hear about. It shows the distessof women there and that it's not just about the fighting its about their rights. They are having trouble because their rights and progress may be sacrificed for a deal with the Taliban. That is not usually the side of the story we hear. We usually hear about the leaders and the oil so it is awesome to hear about the women.

On October 13 th I wnt to a source panel at the stark stage. At 7:30. I was sitting towards the back because we were only a few minutes early and so most of the seats were already taken. There were a lot of people ther. Some were there becaue it was a Doyle leadership event but many of us were there because it was something we were interested in hearing about. It was really interesting that there were quite a few adults there. Usually at events at the stark stage at this time of night it is all college students but there was a surprising number of adults present. This event had three presenters whontalked about different aspects of gay or lesbian life. There was stuff about children in foster care and stuff about marriage and stuff about the difference between kids raised by gay or lesbian couples and kids raised by straight couples. I thought the most interesting was the speaker about foster care gay and lesbian kids and about the kids raised by gays and lesbians. I think my major in social work probably contributed to why I found the one about foster care so intriguing but I thought it was sad the way they were treated without love and were moved around more. In think other people reacted the same to that fact as I did; we were all shocked and sad that someone would treat a child about that. Then we heard about the kids raised by gay and lesbian couples. We were all shocked to find out that if one parent dies, the other doesn't get custody even if they were raised their whole life by that parent as well. I always thought there might a difference in kids raised by lesbian ir Gaya parents because they would probably be bullied more and theynwould act out but it turns out they are often more caring and compassionate than kids raised by straight parents and will standup to others being bullied. This answered my questions and probably a lot of other peoples. Tis experience was unique to me. I have never been to anything like it because this was a topic I didn't have a lot of experience with and I have never been to a panel like this. I have nothing to compare it to because it was such a unique and eye opening experience for me.

Most interesting thing I thought in class

I thought about government and how it really works. I have always thought that the government needs to help people and they need to pass laws to protect it's people but o never thought that laws were hard to pass on purpose. I thought about how it is kind of screwed up that it was supposed to be impossible to get anything done in this country. For the readings for today's class there was the Sudan

I think I have definitely learned how to multitasking even more than I did in high school. I start doing things a lot earlier. I do homework whenever I have time, even if it isn't due for a while because I never know how much time I will have later. I also make sure I spend a good amount of time on stuff because there are less points available in my classes and so everything is worth more. I have become less a obsessed. I used to get As on absolutely everything and now I am happy with Bs and Cs because I know at doesn't mean I failed. I still have the same work ethic but I am learning to balance social and studying. I was actually the opposite of what you would think because I used to study like all the time but now I am learning to make more time for friends unless I have a big test then I need to take time. I have developed the ability to sleep even with people running down my hallway screaming and I have become ninja in the morning when my roommate is still asleep and I have class. I think a university student is good at balancing and gets involved and has friends and studies and works hard for everything(at least a good university student). I think I am on my way there. I am sill working on getting as involved as I want to be and still making more friends and learning to balance it all with getting good grades. I think my vision is definetly changeable and not very clear. My sophomore andjunior year at this time I think I will be confident in what I am doing and look back and laugh at myself this year because I will have it figured out so much better. The only thing. Have figured out now is my way around and meal times. I will have more of life figured out by then.

On October first I was a cheerleader at the BCU homecoming football game at one in the afternoon. I was on the track because I was cheering for the game. I couldn't see the game most of the time but I got to see a few plays and I also get a very good look at the crowd. There were students along with a lot of adults and families at the game. The students stood at the fence right in front of us at the front of the bleachers while the families and adults sad in the bleachers. In the beginning if the game nobody scored. It was pretty boring for everybody. Then the other team scored. Then the scored a field goal so the score was ten to zip. A lot of people left because they figured it was a loss, but then we came back and scored a touchdown and a field goal also tying the score. At the end we thought we were gonna scare again winning the game so we were all anxious and nervous but we didn't, putting the game into overtime. We won e coin toss so the other team went first trying to score. We not only prevented that but they fumbled and we got the ball. The crowd went insane. I have never seen adults jump that high off their seats in a long time. Then we scored and won the game. The crowd went absolutely crazy because we thought we were going to lose for a while. This game brought me back to the state championship my senior year of high school. We won in overtime almost the exact same way we did. It was different because the stakes weren't as high and it wasn't as intense because it was just a regular game. But I loved cheering all the same. It made me so happy because I love exciting games because that makes cheering fun. The crowd was great because they were so supportive of us and the football team. I thought it was a great start ton homecoming Saturday. I think my action was the same as everybody else's. These are the games everybody loves. We want excitement and victory because ournteam isn't that great so it's a big deal for us to win. We were all very proud of the team for pulling through the way they did.
