OCT. 26, 2018: Anger

Image
Why am I full of anger? Dwayne the cat, 2017.  A whole lot of self-reflection.   By yours truly, Karla . On Thursday, October 25th, I stepped into an ll:30 a.m. class with a cloudy mind. I knew there and then that I was unable to present a 40 min group presentation about the California S.B. 1186 bill.  Twenty minutes later , I experienced a panic attack in front of a class for the second time in my life.  It had been the previous class, reporting with the university's newspaper, that had shaken me to the core. The university's police department commander in chief was a guest in our class to discuss the Clery report and steps taken into counting the number of reports for crimes on-campus. Sexual assault conviction had been extensively talked about by the commander in chief and surrounding classmates during the class time period.  The topic of sexual assault had always been a delicate one for me to process.
