FRIFRI GOES GEEK(IER)
Today is hardcore study day, since I didn't get aaaaaanything done when Mummy Eva was here during the weekend. (An update as to what happened during the Mummy Eva weekend will be posted during the evening.) I've started some research for my dissertation and find it a lot easier to read while listening to classical music, drinking tea and wearing my fluffiest robe. (I have three pink robes. They're all different shades though!) My nerd- moment is completed by the fact that I've noticed that I read some articles that I stumble over "for fun." Oh well, whatever works...
Am however struggling with some of the readings since I get too upset/ angry. I decided to take a break when I started crying on the tube when I was reading an extremely detailed extract about FGM (female genital mutilation). This whole thing with distancing myself from work has never really been my thing. (Actually I had a mentor when I was 17 who said that I shouldn't go to law school since I'm a woman and would become too emotional, so I could never be as good a lawyer as a man would be. Naturally, this pissed me off so much that I was pretty much willing to do it just to prove him wrong. Hm, perhaps I should send him an e- mail and thank him. Nah.) I mean sure, I got emotional from reading about FGM. But on the other hand, if he read about getting his penis chopped off with a piece of glass when 8 years old, without anaesthetic, then sewing everything together and tying is legs together and holding him still for 15 days on a table for it to heal then he probably would get emotional too. So I'm gonna go ahead and decide that it's a sign of dedication to what I'm doing and being normal instead, ja?
