Its October!!

Hey there!!!
It's October already, it's all very excited the semester is moving right along. This Friday is fall break day and that means no school! This is good because I need an excuse to get out of town and spend some time with a good friend of mine. Most students take this time to do some extra studying and get back on track with their homework. Luckily the majority of my midterms have passed and I am in the clear!
This Tuesday The Dominican Grrrls is hosting a feminist discussion, we are expecting a great turn out and hope to involve as much of our student body and community as possible! We are also planning on marching for Marin Abused Women's services (MAWS) the event is October 21st a Sunday, the purpose it to demonstrate that domestic violence and other types are still an issue in today's world and even in our own backyards. The rally will begin at Dominican and we will continue to march down fourth street. Some of our group members are planning on wearing prom dresses with combat boots. Femininity and women's rights are not possible with out a fight. WALK ON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! For more information please check out www.maws.org all are welcome!
When I'm not working in the community I am projecting my energy towards my senior thesis and planning for next year after I graduate. My thesis is primarily an observation using magazines as primary resources that asks the question does the dating advice in contemporary magazines enforce gender roles?
Take care!!
