i dont know if ive ever told you this, but i really like my new boss. she has definitely made me think of things that i would never think about, be it simple things that involve raising families, to topics and issues regarding politics. and being that we are constantly talking about adult students and how to advocate for them on campus, and being that she is a director, i suppose one of her responsibilities is to make me more aware of issues surrounding adult students. and i suppose by doing that, she is helping me reaching a more "adult" level of thinking (now, i REALIZE that certain people will chuckle reading this, because i have the tendency to NOT want to grow up when it comes to relationships, but thats the only portion of life i seem to not be able to become 'old' at....) but lisa, and katrina, both have very very good points of views regarding life, politics, spirituality, socialization .. things that matter, and things that grow me.
one of the topics discussed so far have been how, in light on the presidential election, that this country, this so called power-house, will be going backwards into the dark ages, and that we liberals should fear and should not underestimate the powers of stupid people in large groups. its alarming because i dont want to trade one type of oppression with another. the whole idea of living in this so called freedom-country is to HAVE freedom. but alas ...
the other thing that makes me really like my new boss is the fact that she tells me things regarding child rearing. i mean, its not like shes trying to insinuate things one way or the other, but it helps to know. i mean, little things that i dont think about, like, what to do with your kids when they get done from school in the afternoon .. who picks them up, where do they go afterwards, ie, institutionalized daycare or a home daycare .. and what about where should they go for school? private or public schools, and why, or why not? its weird to think about someone else besides yourself, to be completely responsible for that person until they reach the age of 18. i mean .. wow, there is SOO much that you are responsible for, i wonder if i am going to be ready or if i will be up for it! scary ...
im sure tho, i will marry a very able husband, who will be a very able father. at least, i suspect so ..
