So-So

I just wrote a huge, long entry and decided to make it private lol. It got way too long and drawn out. I am going to give you guys a shorter version so people might actually read it rather then run far away due to the length.

I am feeling down lately. Probably from "female" issues, but whatever. I hardly see James, and when I do, it is so late at night, it isn't even funny. We fought today and I feel bad, because I found out he was covering up a surprise for me that he had planned tonight. However, you have to understand what the fight was about because even James couldn't really blame me for being upset. It is too complicated to explain, but typical couple arguments. Not the end of the world type fighting. We rarely argue anymore, but as any normal couple knows, it does happen from time to time. We just have to be healthy about it.

So today I was invited to a luncheon in honor of the women on our campus (specifically faculty and staff, it was more of professional event then a student one). You had to have tickets to go, and my research advisor invited me. My department all sat togehter, and it was a nice banquet. They give out the Woman of the Year award. It was interesting, because lat years award recipient (a literature teacher) discussed her research, which was about two sisters, the Kenealy's, who were on opposite ends of the feminist movement in the early 1900's. Some of it was rather funny at times, she read direct letters and parts of their books. One sister, who was an anti-feminist at the time, felt that women who spend too much time on education will actually cause herself to become more like a man. Her breasts would shrink, she could grow facial hair, etc. Sad thing is, she ws a doctor. One of the few female doctors in her area at the time.

Well, James is here I believe, better see what surprise he has in store for me :) Kind of excited to see what it could be. I am actually surprised he might be on time for once, he seems to always lose track of time lol
