so i have finally finally FINALLY gotten my page up and running. back at home i had zero luck doing anything to my profile, only lord knows why. i am now residing in the lovely toronto and type this from my humble student abode.
school is going so freakin' awesome. learning has never felt so great! i love my profs, all "butch" lesbians just teaching our yearning minds about feminism and helping out the beautiful women of today. it's so lovely. i'm going to be so happy. it sure helps that i am in a program consisting of GIRLS ONLY! orientation day, i swear, i have not been able to ever be so open about my sexuality and background so easily. already i am learning so many things, and feeling so empowered. i feel a change coming on, i feel another rebirth. i'm about to become liberated again, i'm sure of it. it will be testing, as i will deal with many topics that are so sensitive and graphic (i am studying to become an Abused Women's and Children's Counsellor/Advocate) but i will come out amazingly. i will not let myself down, i know what i'm capable of.
it helps that i am constantly surrounded by women going through the exact same experience with me, perhaps in different forms but still such a glorious process. every single one of us just beam pride when we walk through those classroom doors each day, and as one particularly intelligent girl said, "the token queer homo" as she jokingly identified herself as, she is "eradicating gender binaries" and it was awesome. she shook up the class with her courage and different appearance and put a little bit of wisdom into each of my peers with such ease and grace. it was admirable. every girl in that class is so admirable, though.
i hope to get out and taste some culture though. i have a full work load so it's quite hard. tomorrow i have kirsten coming to visit me for the weekend (m'lady thing) and i hope i am not too tired and a bore. getting back into the routine of classes all day from taking a decent break sure is proving to be difficult, but i am so keen that i am sure i will pull through just fine.
anyhow, with kirsten on her way in mere hours and i awake in the wee morning even still, warm bed is calling me.
much love.
