why is it always so much more intressting to do other things when you really ought to be studying. I just want to surf around at TIG, starting up the gruop on women rights, finding other intressting person, read poetry and so on and so on. But i really have to get these papers finished, i said to my teacher that i will send them in this afternoon...afternoon is sneaking up way to fast and i have tons left to write. Ahhh! i have such a bad discipline for myself. Anyone that has any advice to give me, how to be a more serious student? feminism and gender studies and reading about the problems that we have in sweden is intressting but not as revarding as talking to you all about real life problems and discuss isues that need to be changed. cant i just take a course in that instead?! Anyway moments like these calls for a poem by a wise woman. If you want to check out more of my poetry collection you can do it at www.livejournal.com/users/ladyfreedom/


Because women are expected
to keep silent about
their close escapes
I will not keep silent
. . .
No I am finished with living
for what my mother belives
for what my brother and
father defended
for what my lover elevates
for what my sister, blushing
denies or rushes
to embrace…
…Besides
my struggle was always against
an inner darkness I carry
with myself
the only known keys
to my death…
… happy to fight
all outside murderers
as I see I must
- Margaret Walker
