so. . .

i haven't made much progress on my thesis.  i realize the momentum is there after meeting with committee members, but then it fades away after a couple of days or so.  i don't think i have the discipline to get through this.  it's not as uniform and structured as taking classes.  

so what's on my plate:

KAMP: one more month to go and we still need to finalize our last lesson plan, last class is Dec 19

GABNet: i'm still around. as much as this is has been a personal struggle, i'm still around.  we have two high school conferences  and hopefully things will slow down. 

Townhall: meeting with the folks from Backroom Podcast to review the plan of action 

School: still have two assignments from last semester to complete

Thesis: JUST GET THAT SHIT DONE!

ASI: need to coordinate facilitators for the social justice retreat 

That's where i'm at right now.

What's the Master's Thesis?

Beneath Our Maria Claras reveal the lives of Filipinas as they attempt to undress layers of pre-colonial identities sewn by patterns of colonialism, imperialism, and patriarchy. For years, I have struggled to remove this garment and try to do what some colonized peoples have done, de-colonize myself and understand the social and historical conditions impacting my live. This blog/research follow my lines of thoughts and understanding while trying to understand: How do second generation Filipina American college students reclaim power that was denied to them culturally through gender?
