I woke up to go to the bathroom this morning and walked past my neighbor's door.
On her whiteboard was this message:
"Fuck Communism and Jewish Swine."
There was also a drawn swastika.
I went back to my room and grabbed my camera. I took a picture of it.
A couple weeks ago I had a flier on my door that said, "What does Feminism mean to you?"
Someone had written "buncha pussies" on it.

Sometimes I am really embarassed to go to this school.
Everyone always told me it was so open minded here.
But many of my experiences have proven that racism, sexism, and classism still are alive and well on this campus.
We just like to think we are really egalitarian.

This is my first blog post ever.
I am starting this blog before I go abroad to Mexico so that I can keep in contact with my family and friends and they can read what I am up to.
I want to use this blog as a tool to share my successes and failures in the kitchen.
I also want to use this blog to share my views on social issues of today.
I will be home in a little over a week. I plan to begin cooking and baking immediately.
Here is my list of cookies to make to send to my boyfriend Eric in Boulder, Colorado.

Baklava
Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mexican Wedding Cakes
Molasses Crinkles
Almond flavored Candy Canes

Thanks for reading!
