So its been a year and a half since I embarked on the grad school journey... I am graduating in June but have so much left to do!!! After going back to read my blog I realize that what has suffered the most in my life has been my creativity. I am reading my poetry and my ponderings and musings on here and want to wake up my dormant creative energy!!! I want to paint and draw and drink wine and stay up all night painting!!!! All of the analytical nonsense of grad school is seeping into my creativity!
However this whole grad school journey has been amazing and I am glad I am doing this!!
I have met amazing people, read and learned amazing things.
I am ready to go out there and be unleashed- I have learned so much and paired with community organizing I feel that I will be an asset to my community in fighting the issues and people that continually try to break us and hurt us and deny us of our rights. I am ready for the fight, its like I have been in intense training bootcamp--- on one hand continuing to be engaged in whatever level I am able to while im in grad school and also learning about the theory and the issues from an academic side-getting ready with all of this knowledge, and understanding and most importantly: Passion for this life, for this fight, for the people.
I am continually inspired by the brave, courageous, beautiful community of people I have gotten to know and respect here in San Diego and across the country--- DC. Maine, Chicago, and everywhere in between--- doing wonderful amazing work---- this essence of connections between people with a passion for living and fighting the good fight continually renew me. I am not letting grad school and its calculations take that away from me. I take the good and discard the bad---- I cannot wait for June--- be ready world--- I'm a force 3 Tornado right now, wait til I turn to a freaken Hurricane of Normitaness!!!!!
