written catharsis: a post-lupa reflection
Last Wednesday, we had our final meeting for SocSci3 class. So far, it has been the most influential class I ever took, in my entire life. After a whole semester of
Exploring Gender and Sexuality, I can now safely say that I have gotten to know myself better. I have learned to respect myself and my sexuality more. I became more accepting of other people, and myself.
SocSci3 under Sir Michael Tan is definitely life changing. It has been, as expected, very liberating. If more people had a deeper understanding of gender and sexuality, and these two form the core of our characters, the world would be a whole lot better.
The funny thing was, after the lecture, we were given a post test. No sweat, just easy stuff like explain how vasectomy is different from castration. I got stumped on the last part though.
We were supposed to choose from the following to describe who we are at this age:
exclusively heterosexual
primarily heterosexual
bisexual
primarily homosexual
exclusively homosexual
others: please specify
It took me ten minutes to answer this. Months ago, I would have checked "exclusively heterosexual" without even thinking. Now, I am thinking that I do not exactly want to belong to any particular category. Not that I'm asexual, but it simply doesn't matter to me anymore.
Naturally, I am still your kikay party girl from hell. I just got a bit smarter and decided that maybe I am just primarily heterosexual.
XXXXXXX
In other news, I cut Math class today to type an English paper. It was just a friggin homework, but knowing Dr.Diva (my prof)- I decided to go OC along the way and produced a four-page report on the Philippine Language Crisis, complete with interviews of the former Associate Dean of UP College of Arts and Letters.
Lumalaban!
The sad part, Dr. Diva played deadma. She didn't show up!!!!!!!!! Gaaaahd. I missed Math class for nothing! Well, not exactly nothing. At least I outdid SnottyClassmateX by two pages.
Pee in your pants, dahlings!
