I have spent an entire day locked in my room, coming out for the occational toilet use and food. (Although not in the same go) The reason for this blandness? Study. Can you believe this is the first week of school, yet i have locked myself up to study like it was the last week of semester? This isn't right, i know! ...
However, having spent the day studying, shouldn't i now be more prepared for the class? the short answer is no. What i have been studying is a book by Helen Garner called The First Stone. It detailed a real life incident where a headmaster of a University was charged with sexual harrassment. The book took up the claim that everyone has sexually harrassed someone at some point in time, whether knowing or unknowing. It then called on females, specifically, to take responsiblities for thier actions. So what does all this have to do with my studying? well...i read the book and began the process of preparing a tutorial presentation. The question was "In The First Stone, was "truth" and fiction blurred. The problem is, i can't find the "real" event! Everyone seems to know it happened yet no one knows any more than the book details! this is just crazy!
Where has this left me? Wondering why the tutorial question didn't deal with sexual harrassment instead of "truth" and fiction. I have all of two paragraphs of a 35 minute presentation ready. What else is there to do? Speak to the lecturer? Search the library? Abandon the internet as useless? I think my solution for the moment will be leaving it alone rather than trying to figure out the next step. :P
