Yeah, it seems like the whole kid thing is going to drive them apart in the end. Which stinks because Owen would make a really great dad.

For my senior thesis I focused on the history of comics (particularly Wonder Woman) and how it related to feminism from the 40s-current. Other than that, it was general history courses-although I enjoyed my Latin America class. I also got a teaching certificate so I'm trying to get a job in a middle or high school (trying being the key word, lol).

If that doesn't pan out, I'd like to maybe get a job at a historical society or something ^-^

That's my goal as well! I graduated from college a couple years ago to become a history teacher and found that it was near impossible to get a job, especially since I'm not a man wanting to coach. There was legitimately a position that I couldn't apply for because the title was history teacher/football coach. That's why I'm back in school. Decided I needed a leg up and now I will be qualified to teach at community college, even though my heart is pretty set on teaching middle school history. It's a tough market out there.

I love the idea of using comics to examine social structures like feminism. Cultural history like that is so interesting, seeing how you can extract societal norms and values from the everyday culture that people consumed. It obviously raises a huge question of what was intended and if people noticed it, but it's still by far my favorite kind of history.

Do you mind if I friend you? I like knowing somebody else that is trying to do the same thing I am.

It is tough out there, (I actually lost my job at the end of the year and have been looking for anything) but you just have to keep on chugging-even if it's hard at times.

Originally since it was a 40 page paper I wanted to do a section on Green Lantern/Social Justice, Superman/American exceptionalism, Wonder Woman/Feminism, and Batman/corruption but my advisor steered me towards one subject which actually worked out since there was plenty of source material for me to work with (comic, cartoon, movie/TV). It was really interesting to see how the focus shifted over the years and her current interpretation.

And sure! :D
