Week of Class


On Tuesday in class most of the time we took to get in our groups for our C.R.I.B.S event we have this week. I think our group has everything pretty well planned out for the event and I think the event we put on will be exciting and a lot of people are going to show up. Doing some research for this project was kind of neat because I had the chance to learn some things about Canada that I did not know. It also helped that Ian is in our group and since he is from Canada, he can give us a lot of information as well and teach us some things too.
            Thursday’s class was one that I thought was very interesting. I thought Mary was a nice lady and she gave us a lot of information on the lesbian, gay, bi, and transsexual community. I thought what she was talking about was kind of weird at first but once she started explaining everything it started to make sense what she was talking about. I learned that when a person has transphobia, this means they are not sure what gender they are or should be attracted to. I was very surprised when Mary told the class that she is a lesbian and has been for almost thirty years. I thought it was kind of awkward how her and her partner were friends before deciding to be together. I think it is awkward because most women who are best friends do not usually tend to start having feelings for one another. I think this next week of class will be really interesting with the speaker we have coming in. I think it will be a good learning experience for the class. I am looking forward to hearing more from this group of people.
