So here I am in Michigan! And I'm so happy here! I've only been here for about a week and a half, but already I feel at home. I'm making a lot of really wonderful friends fast. My classes are great. My professors are great. My classmates are wonderful. And, to top it all off, my cat Nomi Malone (pictured below!) is too fucking cute for words. She's great. She's almost 3 months old! Adorable.
I'm taking a good number of courses. Statistics, Social Theory, Feminist Theory, Gender / Sexuality (a prep course for my first big prelim in Sociology), and two orientation classes in Women's Studies and Sociology. Yay for Michigan!
Plans are already in the works with my friend Paul in American Culture to try to organize a "salon" of sorts for queer studies graduate students across the University. We've got great people just in my year in American Culture, Sociology, Communications, and Women's Studies - and those are just the folks I've met so far! Good times.
And now, Nomi. The love of my life.
