Saturday night, after prom: I really screwed things up.
Prom was rather fanciful though. I had a wonderful time.

Pathetic
May 6, 2011
From looking at the past posts from this year, I am disappointed to find that I didn't post ANYTHING I wanted to! There were so many things I wanted to discuss: LABMUNC, the play, tennis, drama, etc.
More to come.
Hopefully.

Wowsas
May 6th, 2011
Wow, it's already been two months since I last posted, and even longer for the RBC blog....
For a simple update, my life's been super super busy lately, but I'm happy with the constant business. Today I had a tennis match against saint bernard's, and I was pretty proud of myself not only because I helped my partner win, but also because I was fearless at the net where as yesterday I was timid, ducking for cover. Yesterday was embarrassing. My team overall has been doing pretty well, but Taryn and I have only won 3 matches. I swear tennis is my favorite and most hated activity -- I love playing it and winning, but once I start losing I get so angry, so frustrated. And then I'll hit my leg with my racket. It's a bad habit my entire team has... it's bad.
Hmmm... I went on college visits over April break. Georgetown is my number one. The ultimate, the most perfect place for me. I wish to go there so badly, and hopefully I will get in! Today I had the revelation that if I could choose any career it would probably be a historian. Although being a theatre actress would be awesome, being a historian would just blow my mind. I love history. But unfortunately, it's impractical. As are my other interests. Science is the way to go these days if money is desired in one's future. I would like money, money's nice, but I can't decide. It's strange thinking that at 17, my decisions will be life-changing. It's almost terrifying, but at the same time equally as exhilarating.
How about I become famous and live happily ever after in Monaco like Grace Kelly? (Minus the tragic death)
That sounds good to me.

I feel totally lame for not continuing to update the other blog, but it's temporarily (and unofficially) closed. I need some time to figure it all out. And I might be getting a new adress for it, and yeah lots of stuff's going on. I'll keep ya posted.

Model UN
February 17th, 2011
Strangely enough I had a rather refreshing discussion with my Model UN group about women's rights. May I add that other than the instructor, I am the ONLY girl involved? It was interesting and we discussed how our perception of women in the United States originated. We also discussed women's oppresion in the middle east, and then further discussed the extent of equality among the sexes.
Model UN isn't the only place where women's rights has been discussed lately. For example, my IB French class is discussing equality between the sexes as our latest topic. This has included reading and analyzing "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge," or "Little Red Riding Hood," discussing women's rights in Moracco, and more.
It was very refreshing, and made me think of my GLW girls. Miss you ladies!

Barbie Vs Real Woman
January 29th, 2011
My original social justice project just isn't working - other clubs aren't interested in collaborating, and to create a new club so late in the year has been dubbed "unthinkable." Lately, I've been trying to find something that I can actually accomplish that also caters to my interests. Lately I've found myself reading more into eating disorders, and having experienced one first hand, I feel like it's time for me to tackle the beauty myth. So far it's just in brainstorm mode, but I'm working on it. I am more than confident that I can work to help this.
Lately I've been toying with the idea of creating tee shirts, and my first idea was Barbie. She is the perfect example of hyperbole, or exaggeration, of the all American beauty. Although many don't consider how toys may affect the thought process, it is those toys which build the first layer of our thought foundations. Barbie's curvaceous body, yet somehow completely skinny at the same time is unrealistic. Her long neck and swooping back give her sex appeal. Yet do women really look like this? No, yet by the age of four or five we've already associated ourselves with this Utopian woman. I'm not blaming Barbie completely for the outbreak in eating disorders or having caused mine, but I think that she only added to a tough fight. Enjoy the article ladies.
