You know how after you research something, or learn a new fact, or learn the definition of a new word, and all of a sudden you see that particular tidbit everywhere? That's what's happening to me right now. Yesterday I turned in my 3500 word paper about street harassment in Jordan. I got to interview a lot of people, read a lot of blogs, and heard a lot of stories about street harassment and sexual harassment in general.
Then today, I was perusing one of my favorite procrastinating news sites, Alter Net, and I found an article about street harassment. Which linked to another, and another. And I find out that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Huh. Who'd a thunk? Guess I chose the right topic. As always after writing a long research paper, I now cannot stop myself from researching more and more even after the fact... perhaps this will be an interest I carry with me back to the States.
