Wow.... this term has gone by so fast! It's sad that class is over because we had such great discussions and the episodes were all awesome and the speakers were AMAZING to say the least....
The "monstrous maternal" episode was great, I had of course seen it before (hee-hee) and remember it as being one where I just kept thinking "Where was the intervention!" clearly that woman needed help and people knew that she was "a little off" but no one did anything to help her. That is sort of like what we talked about in class with Andrea Yates (The woman who drowned her kids); people knew she was "off" and her doctor specifically advised her not to have more children but her family did not help her, her husband got her pregnant again, and no one stepped in even "in the name of the kids" and at least helped her watch them during the day... and its like so many people turned their backs on her (and the mom in the episode) which leads to the isolation that these mothers feel/felt
The guest speaker was really interesting and it was cool to hear about what it is really like to be a judge.... i wished she would have had some stories about the crazy vigilante people that shoot the defendants like on law and order but i guess that does not happen that much in real life :(
GOOD LUCK ON FINALS EVERYONE!!!
as of right now... (5:00 on wednesday 6/4) I am done with Oregon State! I am off to start my "real life"
