"how do you think about your genitals? how do you feel about them? how are your genitals lived?" - Dr. Aho Sociology 413 Mind Body and Society.
somehow our conversation came around to this. we were talking about social phenomenology which baisicaly states that there is not a reality, rather several realities that are based on how one thinks, feels, percieves and lives this reality. life is a story, the past is a story, the future, a story. it can be based on facts, but those facts are also stories. truth is not what is concivable in reality, but what is remembered.
i think this class is going to be really interesting. especially if he keeps talking about how our genitals are lived.
outside of that, i am taking a photoshop class from a professor staight out of S. Korea. his english is very good, but i have a hard time understanding his accent. hopefully i will get used to it, and the understanding will increase.
my apartment looks a lot better than it did last year. my aunt and mom came over to help organize and unpack. it's amazing how a little organization can make a small place look larger. plus they cleaned the carpets, which were disgusting.
i was thinking about being alone as i as walking to class today. i rarely like to be alone, and use others as security blankets. perhaps there is an outside force trying to teach me that it is ok to be alone sometimes, by having some of my friends leave, having some of my friends decide they don't want to be in my life anymore, by maybe having to take an extra semester when everyone i know has graduated and left school. or maybe it is just really hard for me to distinguish the difference between aquaintence and friends. maybe that is it. but it might be the other, that makes me sound less pathetic. higher power teaching me a lesson.... me being an unsocial wierdo..... i choose higher power.
that was my first few days back at school. i will be reading for the rest of my life now.
p.s. i am starving.
