I am glad my message spoke to you.  Since I am not in class and can't get to know all of you, I often feel I am sending useless information into cyberspace.

Don't be intimidated by the level of language and knowledge of your classmates.  You are a very real and genuine person.  That is probably related to your Zen perspective.  When you eventually leave the ivory tower of Bryn Mawr, where admittedly you will learn a great deal, you will find that your personal qualities are far more significant than your intellectual knowledge.

There is no need to spin your wheels over whether or not you are a feminist. Labels, even positive ones, often impede heartfelt communication.  The important thing is what you believe and value, and how you translate that into your presence in the world.
