Oh snap, I made it!

My first science sequence class is officially over. Even though I am far from a science person, I did enjoy the class. I think it was the teacher that made me enjoy it more because she taught my mom and brother in high school so it was like a family right of passage to have her ya know?

For my Literature class, we were assigned to read “The Yellow Wall-Paper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. At first, I really didn’t think I would like the story but I was quite surprised. The story is about a woman who has a creative mind but to her husband and brother she has a nervous disorder and needs a lifestyle of rest to “cure” her. I was quite appalled to learn that the...
