what's the problem, baby?

We had an discussion about racism in my Woman's Creative and Performing class, in relation to a reading we're doing, and it's ... frankly, it's amazing how comfortable everyone is with each other and how open we were to share our stories, and it's even more amazing how one class can open up your eyes to things you've never noticed before. (Also, the professor told us about this book about White Privilege; a white writer stopped to think about what privileges she had and wrote a list of over 100 different privileges, such as having a bandage that looks like your skin color. I need to get that book; that thing about the bandage alone got me thinking.)

Oh. And randomly, I spoke to a stranger on the way home from school on the L. I accidentally bumped into her, sat next to her, and she started a conversation with me about her day. I really wish I had gotten her name. She seemed really nice. :(

Just checked by mid-term grades. Only two classes are up; one class is an A, the other is a C. Not bad, but I'm raising that C as soon as possible.

Despite all these nice things about today ... I can't WAIT until I go to sleep tonight. I am EXHAUSTED.

That DOES sound like an interesting book :0

I hate when that happens D: I have so many strangers that I remember talking to and liking and now I'm sad because I have no way of seeing or talking to them again .-.
What is it with us sociable Sams XD

It does sound like a good book. I'll see if I can get my hands on it.

Yeah, that's true; I hate it when you click with somebody so well, then you forget to exchange numbers or at least Facebook accounts. :( It's very sad.

I wish I was a sociable Sam. I'm the exact opposite - people usually talk to me first to get me going. I'm getting better at it, I'm just really shy IRL. XD;
