09:18 pm - Valentine Rage I think this has got to be the first time I've been really angry after having read a school-related book, aside from English books where I just thought the plots or characters were stupid. Really, to claim that the Japanese work force is sexist and that it's entirely the male ego's fault? What complete and utter bullshit. Did she not take into consideration that women do not become full fledged office workers or become apprentices and artisans because they DON'T WANT TO BE? It's not like the Japanese men are tying them just to part time and house work. If a woman really wants into full-time work force, they can get it. It's exactly why Japan is having population issues, because woman are now focusing on full-time work, thus deciding to not have children. I've been okay with everything she's said up until now, where I hardly want to read the last two chapters of the book because I find her reasoning so skewed. As for the rest of the day, it was pretty much studying or doing homework. I did spend a few hours with Brian and his parents, which was fun. I told them my frustrations with school. They say Freshman year is always like this (despite me taking 300-400 level classes and tend to be the only Freshman in them), but I understand that they were trying to help me through it with advice, so I appreciate it (along with everyone else who has given a kind word to me). I got to act crazy with Brian which was nice, but when they dropped me off it was right back to homework. Just trying to get 3 days worth of homework and reading done into one day. It's tough, but I might be able to get through it. If not, I have a few hours tomorrow before I have to meet up with Brian and get everything ready for Monday. Current Mood: Kondo Doesn't Know Anything!
