I was totally kick-arse in Music and Gender today. Dr Sun used three of the points I brought up in class, not only saying they were good points, but then agreeing with them and using them as starters for Serious Discussions.
This may seem like a pretty dorky reason to post, but shhhhh! I've been shouted down in class several times, being the only one there to think a certain way about some of the topics and arguments (even once today, but I stood my ground as always), so being comended for my input was pretty damn good. Especially seeing as we've got our first assessment due tomorrow. It's a CD/DVD/Concert/Film review, looking at the (de)construction/performance of gender through music, and I'm doing mine on Pan's Labyrinth. It's supposed to be pretty informal, I've just realised, but I can go through and dumb it down a bit once I've finished. I just felt like posting some of it here... ok, all of it so far. It's about 1000 words of the required 1350/1500, and I've still got some things I want to add about the main theme, but it's nearly there.
Just before I post it, though, I noticed Amy's "Readability Tester" post and thought I'd run my review through it. Apparently, you need to have been formally schooled for about 15.52 years to easily understand it the first time through.
I guess that's about right, though, seeing as I've had 13 years of school and 2 years of university...
Oh, and there are a couple of spoilerish bits, so... you know, beware. I really suggest watching this movie if you can. It is just... wow. Seriously.
