Reverse the Curse?

So, just a nice update to life and some small things to write about.
First, the semester is ending. Thank goodness. I spent last weekend in Columbus, and it was quite bittersweet. However, it was overall a really nice weekend. I love my family (well most of them anyhow). We went to the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, and it was fun. They were really great live, and the crowd was very interesting...I felt at home. The other excitement was Ry's gravestone being finished. It is the most gorgeous thing ever. It makes you speechless when you see it because it is truly a work of art. Slowly but surely, I am finishing all my projects for the end of the semester. My hard work is paying off, and I have received some of the best compliments I've ever received from professors. It's nice, really nice.
So, on to more and exciting things. I was watching television the other day, and a commercial for Midol came on. The line of the commercial at the end was "Reverse the Curse." I hate periods and all the pain and uncomfortable-ness that comes with them, but I don't think it's a curse. The ability to have a child is unique and truly, a blessing. Sure, I don't particularly like the whole period thing, and I do denounce it when I am hormonal, but there is no reason to call it a curse. It bothered me because there's no reason to call something that is uniquely female a curse. It just makes women feel bad about another womanly thing.
Now for happy news! Spain's new prime minister is working with a ministry that is a majority of women. In fact, the Defense Minister is a woman (the first woman minister of defense) who is also 7 months pregnant. Another woman, the Minister for Equality is only 31 years old, the youngest in Spain's history. How exciting!
Well, there's the updates. Until another day.
