Hello, friends! Clearly, I have been unsuccessful in keeping this blog updated regularly. I am very busy and rather exhausted. Here are a few lighthearted snippets from my life recently: - Laugh Toast Intolerance, the sketch comedy club that I am a part of, had our first live show last Friday. It was an overall success! I am grateful for all of the people who came to watch, and everyone who laughed at our jokes. - I am rehearsing for a play! I cannot say that I am doing mind-blowingly well, but I am doing my best to learn my lines and blocking. - My American Experience class went to Disneyland on Sunday! We went to learn about political socialization in the United States, so it was educational and disheartening as well as fun and wholesome. - My Capstone (i.e. senior project) is well underway! I am writing about medical gatekeeping of the transgender community, and how it is replicated by gatekeepers within the trans community.
