end of November 🦃🍂

-

    The end of the month, similar to the end of the semester, creeped up on us so quick! To follow up from my last blog, my birthday weekend was so fun. I'm grateful for my friends and family for taking time to make me feel special. I am so grateful for having a big family because Thanksgiving day was so much fun. Literally all my cousins and aunts and uncles were in town this year and we were together all day. It's really the little moments that you should cherish and remember forever. This mini break was well needed to just take time to relax and catch up on sleep. I also helped my mom put up the Christmas tree and decorate outside. I love Christmas and we literally did it the day after Thanksgiving. 



    Unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of the break school-wise. I came into break saying to myself, "You're gonna get so much work done and study to be ahead!" and I didn't really do a thing regarding school work. That being said, I'm going to binge write today and try to get a rough draft of my final paper so that all I would have to do later is just tweak it and perfect it. It's not the work that's hard, it's just finding time and committing to starting it and to keep going. I know what I have to do, but sometimes I just don't do it. Or I push it off until later then I'm scrambling trying to get everything done. But today, I'm going to really take some time to find an article and just start typing. I narrowed down my project topic to be something related to beauty/beauty standards in media and society. 

    I hope everyone had a great break! There's not that many weeks left for us to push forward and just finish, we got this.

       After watching the documentary, "After Tiller," I feel more compassion, respect, and empathy towards healthcare providers and women. This documentary is showcasing the hardships doctors who perform third trimester abortions go through, especially after the assassination of their colleague and friend, George Tiller. There wasn't one scene in particular that stood out to me, because the whole documentary felt like the "same" story, but with different women and reasons as to why they're getting an abortion. When the women were explaining different health issues their babies' had, I was getting teary eyed. It's definitely heartbreaking hearing about these rare and life threatening diseases, and it's even worse when the parents think it's their fault that this sickness happened. I couldn't imagine being in that situation and having to make that type of decision. The way the doctors guided the parents, and really listened to them and wer...

Experimental Design Reflection

-
      While doing the experimental design project, I learned a lot about writing, and about myself as a writer. I usually don't use statistics and data based evidence or diction in my writing, it's mostly analysis and more pathos based. For this project I got to do both though. My group chose to recruit volunteers for Fair Haven Rape Crisis Center organization. While looking on the website, there was a lot of data and logistics, so I had to first understand what everything meant in order to analyze it. But, this topic of providing help and support to people who have been sexually assaulted, is very emotion and feeling based, which is how I like to write and topics I like to write about.      My role in the group was to do the annotated bibliography, which is what I wanted to do because I wanted to find and read different articles that could support our organization to get a better understanding of the whole thing and to help for the project. I think I ...
