I'm not sure why but it's a required course for my hopeful transfer into the St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Thus I'm taking it. My first class was this morning and I wasn't looking forward to it. I'm not a fan of sociology or psychology and the ensuring discussions that result from such classes. I think the only class I dreaded more (but thankfully always was able to avoid) is gender studies.
Anyway! Today after we went through the syllabus my professor, who looks younger than me and that's something which strangely disturbs me despite the fact she has a PhD, said this: Rip a piece of paper in half and give half of it to the person sitting next to you. Then she instructed we were to write two examples of how our lives would be different if one of the three options were to occur.
1. We were born the opposite sex of what we are now.
2. We were born a difference race or ethnicity.
3. We were born into a different social class.
I picked number one because soon as I heard it I immediately thought, "Holy shit. I'd be straight." I know. I'm dorky that way. So I write that down on the paper and I wrote that I probably would've felt more... normal or accepted as a teenager back in the 90's. Then I gave the paper to my neighbor and she gave me hers and we had to discuss it briefly before everyone in the class had to share their answers.
When it got to me I said I chose the option of being born a different sex. I said exactly what I wrote down in my first answer and that was, "I'd be straight." Every other answer in the class lead to some discussion but mine was just...
:::crickets:::
Seriously? lol. So weird. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable discussion on sexual orientation that's happening in May according to the syllabus. This stuff is why I dreaded gender studies. Lame.
In other news, the gf introduced me to Pistachio ice cream this week and oh my god, it's super fucking yummy. Tonight she plans on making a drink from 3 Olives Chocolate vodka and Dr. Pepper or Coke. Katie claims it's just as good as mixing Midori Melon liquor and Mountain Dew and if that's the case I really look forward to tasting it. I swear, I've never tried more new things than I have when I started dating her. It's so fun.

no subject
ouch. See to me that'd be interesting and my immediate thought is, "Why are you so certain you'd be straight?"
Assuming there are other reasons you dislike these sorts of classes what are they? I ask cuz I'm nosy and those drinks sound amazing, tell us how they go ya?
no subject
I just don't like them. I don't like the kind of discussions they bring up and the overall ignorance of most people attending them. Other than that I can't give a reason. I have an instinctive dislike of those subjects.
The drinks were good!
