I am pregnant. Yes, you already knew that. What you may not be aware of is that I can already sense the pregnancy hormones coursing through my veins. And what that means is that my tact is even more diminished than normal. I read a one page article in the Economist and one paragraph set me off fuming. Now, all the thoughts I had were thoughts I would agree with on a non-pregnant day, but it's the *intensity* of it that is rather surprising.

However, I kind of like it. It's nice to just be in a Fuck All Y'all place. Or a place where I can freely cry. God, I wish I could cry normally, so relieving! The next 7.5 months would be an extremely bad time to try to convince me that feminism is a form of mind-control by the lesbian separatists. Or that Obama is really a socialist. Or basically to disagree with me on anything.

Please note that you have been warned.

Ha! Obama needs to pick a side and commit. Sigh.

I'm enjoying it so far. But we'll see as it goes on. Also, I'm nervous about how this will play out 'professionally', ie when I'm writing papers and have to write about stuff I feel strongly about or when facing criticism or something. Eep.

For me it was hard being pregnant and dealing with my comprehensive exams, especially the oral exam, during which I started feeling dizzy and had to run into the bathroom and cry for 15 minutes. When I came back to the room the professors, who were all male, softened their tone considerably. It was amusing and humiliating at the same time. My dissertation proposal defense was a week before Sam was born and that was a lot easier for some reason. No crying. So who knows.

I am SO glad I don't have exams or proposal defenses! Sweet lord. I hate the US more and more (oh, hello there hormones!). But I still have to write shit.
