We had to read Chapter 2 of Irigarary's "This Sex Which is Not One" to discuss in class today.
I'll be honest when I say, I only got through it once and I could hardly take anything away from what I read. I was not looking forward to class at all and I just wanted it to be a short discussion.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one who had issues with this reading, it was the quietest the class has been all semester and no one really started a discussion, the professor literally had to drag something out of us. While the discussion wasn't great and it was mainly the professor talking and trying to get us to speak up, it really helped me. Theoretical readings are such a pain and we are continuing the discussion on Tuesday but I think I will be able to look at this clearer and be able to take more than the next to nothing I was able to take away from it in my first reading.
On another note, I got an A+ on my warm-up writing on Tuesday. Which only confirms that I'm going in the right direction with my first essay topic! I'm not ashamed to say that I'm very proud of myself and very thankful that she didn't pick up today's warm-up writing.
Okay, time to ponder further about Irigarary before it leaves my head and then onto studying for my exam Friday and the dentist in a couple of hours for a filling...whoo...(not)
