Deep dive into my classes. Power, Identity & Social Justice – I love this class. This is an introduction to gender, race, and other identities and inequalities. Currently, I’m minoring in Social Justice. I met with the GRI advisor last week to get clarity on whether I’m keeping this as my minor or switching it. I really liked what he had to say, and am leaning towards keeping it as my minor. I’m meeting with a few other advisors in different departments next week to further that clarity.

Our big project is a group project. Each group chose a local social justice organization from a provided list. We are to research the history of the topic the organization focuses on, interview someone from the organization, and write a paper along with a presentation. My group chose Canyonwalker Connections. (Looking at you Kathy V. Baldock!!) I suggested three organizations of which I know the founders or directors, and my group mates were most interested in this one.

I had my first midterm last week. Whew! Anxiety hell, y’all! In one month, I register for Spring 2025 semester. Onward!!
