You move to Toronto and the rest of your life goes to shit - yo. I’m living between Allen and John right now and working in my new position as Assistant Director at the Centre for Inquiry - Ontario. I think the most important thing that I’ve done in my 3 weeks here is that I’ve gotten us a resident cat. Her name is theory, and she likes to chase nothing. Seriously. She’ll run around the centre at lightening speed chasing absolutely nothing. I lover her to death. Her official role in the centre is “captain of morale” because she keeps us all really happy.
That is the cat… and the intern… and part of our new HUGE library!! (5500 book donation!) Anyway, she’s awesome and cute and meows a LOT.
Other news: I get my new place in 2 weeks. I’m living in North York, so I’m right by the school… like an hour commute to CFI/downtown, but thats alright. That gives me an hour of quiet subway time everyday, which I don’t mind. This is also my last year of school… and the courses I’m take are as followed:
Fall:
Foundations of Environmental Politics: Development, Globalization, and Justice
Foundations of Environment and Culture: Philosophy, Arts, Technology and Education
Female Spirituality: Comparative Perspectives - Western Traditions
Quantitative Methods in Environmental Studies
Introduction to Logic (again, I know.)
Winter
The first 2 again, because they’re year long classes…
Introduction to Feminist Philosophy
Nations and Nationalism
Sex, Gender and Nature: Ecofeminist Perspectives
Introduction to Applied Ethics
…ergo - I will be raging feminist by the end of the year.
I think the foundations of enviro and culture class will drive me a little bit nuts, but it’s required for the major that I’m doing. I have the logic course to keep me sane, anyway.
More later! <3
