Happy Monday everyone. What a week this has been. Paideia is officially in full force! I'm becoming a pro at deciding whether or not a source is credible enough to use in a research paper! For those of you who don't know, Spring semester for Luther first-years is all about the Paideia research paper. Each class section has a different theme, chosen by the professor, and each student chooses a different topic to research and write about. So for the next month, the library will be full of Paideia students frantically cramming knowledge into their brains so they can spit it out on their computer when it's time to write their paper.
Lucky for me, I chose to watch a movie and analyze whether or not it accurately portrays women in the 1920's in China. So that means I get to watch a movie! Right? Wrong. That means I'll get to watch the movie about 12 times in order to spot the tiniest details about female life. But in all honesty, this movie is pretty good. It's called "Raise the Red Lantern" and I strongly recommend it, because it is a great movie.
Other than that, it looks like winter again! It snowed this weekend, which was AWESOME news for my Outdoor Winter Activities class, because now we can actually go snowshoeing! We hit the trails today, and let me tell you, this is one of the most fun things I've done! It's great! I think everyone should try it at least once!!!
That's all for now, seeing as I've got a large monograph (look it up!) to read about the roles of women in historical China before dinner tonight.
Always,
Allison
