As the semester comes to a close I really have my hands full with homework and studying. Unfortunately this research project hasn’t taken priority too much over my Statistics, Philosophy, or Sociology but I’m thankful that I have done my readings over the last couple of weeks. Not to mention the revision I need to do on essay three on Doublespeak and Bullshit. This was a very hard paper for me to write. Now I just need to sit a write, hopefully. I have chosen to do research on women rights in Iran since it is an interest to me. I did a similar project on Egypt’s women rights and found it very interesting. Yet it was very sad to learn of how mistreated and abused women were and still is in Egypt. Women first need to learn that not all women are treated badly and from there on it continues in battle. This is what I appreciate in the topic of women right’s; it is a sense of empowerment and that women have it. I don’t think it is just a story of women power but of humanity itself. Stories of people defending what they believe are right, even if it is going against the cultural norm that makes it intriguing. It makes me very proud to live in America. So this project on Iran and women rights is not only an assignment but an passion for me to write, even though I haven’t started yet, but I feel like it will flow out of me when I get some time to just sit and write. I really hope that is soon. I think it is very fascinating that with all the forwards and backwardness in the rights of women, they still continued to fight in some way. I have printed article spread all over my desk with highlighted sentences and paragraphs so I will once again be pulling all nighters this weekend after work. There seems to not be enough time in the day for everything I need to do. Therefore, I am very thankful that this semester is ending. It has been a long treacherous semester for me and I don’t feel like I am doing all that well in this class but that was my mistake in trying to cram fourteen units of hard classes into one semester. My hopes are that it will pay off and I will attend CSUB in January with my AA and continue with my education. I sit here and think of all the assignments I need to conquer. I almost feel like I need a list to make sure they all get done. This is really depressing me but in the same instance it is motivating me. I have a shorten amount of time but tons of things to do…….hmmm? 5 hour energy here I come! The wonders of college life! Good luck to everyone with their papers and the rest of your classes. Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends!
That was my problem too. The paper took no priority over anything. I put it last on the list. I think it kind of scared me as well so I was nervous. I also almost chose the topic of Women's rights in Iran. I felt like I had an interest for it. I totally believe in the rights for women. I felt like it would have been easy to research for and I thought that I would have been able to find a ton of information on it. I then looked and saw that she said that this was more difficult so I steered away from that topic and went for something a little bit different but in a sense the same. I chose Gatsby because I felt that it covered women rights as well. On Friday I was at the same point. I just needed to sit down and write but I could never find time to just sit down and write. Every time I sat down I would get distracted. I finally had to just wake myself up early before everyone else in the house so I had no distractions and just write. I was not motivated to write this paper. I also had another problem, I chose to wait until this week to read my section and do any of the reading.
