About to go and celebrate the successful completion of my Oxbridge degree. Here’s my question while I’m gone: Is using sex appeal to get ahead (1) having an awareness of the system and playing the game, or (2) still tied down to patriarchal ideals that oppress women in the first place? Or something else? Answer if you’d like to… Any thoughts?

So remember how I wrote about that time when I went to a formal dinner after basically OD’ing on anxiety meds and taking a comp? …Well, photos are up. This pretty much sums up the night. Time to wallow in regret mode.

I’m overqualified (but just to live in Paris for a year before giving into the real world, can you imagine?), and if I could just get the employer’s support for a work permit: boom, I’m in. Punk-ass Polish embassy, all I want is my EU passport, and it shouldn’t take me over three years to get it. I...
