**Spring Break Week Skipped**

Introduction to Women's Studies

Activism: This week I didn't really do anything for our campaign. Returning from Spring Break I was not in much contact with our boss Rebecca Marques. I thought there was going to be some type of tabling done but I do not think that EQUAL reserved any tables. I think next week I will be starting the promotional video for our project which I am excited about.

Reflection: In class we talk about the path of least resistance a lot. This week, by not really doing anything I feel like I took the path of least resistance. I know I could have either contacted EQUAL or done some of my own canvasing without relying on Rebecca but I didn't. The week before Spring Break I was so hyped up and energetic about this project, but this week it feels like I fell flat. I know that coming back to school was a big part of it because I think everyone needed time to get back in the groove of things. But I know I could have done something this week and I didn't and honestly I feel pretty bad that a group of people are not protected and I took the path of least resistance just like the people who won't protect them.

Reciprocity: Overall I think this week taught me to take more initiative and not be so lazy. I felt really guilty by the end of the week and this feeling is something I am going to avoid. In class when we talked about men joining the feminist movement it angered me so much that, that was even in question, however now, as someone not directly associated with the Trans-Community, I feel like its the same situation and that really upsets me.
