the holiday's are pretty much over and i'm glad for that. i still have new year's to get through but i'll be with friends so that promises to be fun. for some reason i just can't/didn't get into the holiday spirit. i haven't felt really festive for the past couple of years. family traditions are changing and friends are moving on. things aren't the same as they used to be but as i Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01665062253691702779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004034.post-1071129981517375302003-12-11T00:06:00.000-08:002003-12-11T00:07:26.640-08:00"what are you going to do with a women's studies degree?"
i get asked that question a lot. i feel that a women's studies degree provides valuable knowledge and experience to do the work that is necessary to improve the lives of women. the next question is usually, "why is that work necessary?" the best answer i can come with for that was seen on a poster on the wall of the women's resource centerShannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01665062253691702779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004034.post-1069370514579868592003-12-01T20:11:00.000-08:002003-12-02T22:17:23.810-08:00it's almost over
next week is the last full week of my semester. next week is the last full week of my COLLEGE CAREER! i will be done. i will be graduating. i can't believe that it's finally here. 8 long years...i could have an advanced degree by now! it doesn't matter though. if i'd rushed through and finished in 4 years i wouldn't be the person that i am today. i might have ended up doing what Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01665062253691702779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004034.post-1068443960800022892003-11-09T21:59:00.000-08:002003-11-09T21:59:43.390-08:00i'm back
for tonight anyway. who knows how long it will be before i feel like being here again. it's been 2 months. school started and non-academic life slowed. free time is spent hanging out with something or someone other than my backpack, books, and professors. in places other than the library or locked in my room studying. right now i have more work to do than i care to think about but i justShannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01665062253691702779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004034.post-1062883759826376212003-09-06T14:29:00.000-07:002003-09-06T14:29:19.756-07:008/31/03

i'm excited that it's almost september. september marks the start of the -ber months...the collection of months at the end of the year that make up the fall season. september. october. november. december. my favorite season of the year. i like it when the air gets crisp and leaves you with red cheeks when you enter a warm house. i like wearing sweaters and jeans and boots. i Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01665062253691702779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004034.post-1061401083141720522003-08-20T10:38:00.000-07:002003-08-20T10:38:03.140-07:00quote of the day

good things about having a big family:
1. there is always someone around to do things with
2. you have a built in support system
3. holidays are fun
4. there is always someone around to give you advice

i never realized the importance of physical interaction between people. i mean you always here about babies that weren't hugged or were in some way physically neglected and how that affects them in the future as they grow up. but what about as adults? do we suddenly reach a certain age where we don't need hugs or kisses or any sort of physical contact? i didn't grow up in a Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01665062253691702779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004034.post-903870612003-03-08T21:19:00.000-08:002003-03-08T21:19:54.186-08:00ode to living at home

having a house warming party that I was invited to. I went to the party and
