So the Academy... uh.. I'm coming home this weekend!!!!
Woo.
Hit up the cell if you want to do something because I'll try to be out of my house the entire time.
Other than that... nothing much to write about this but I did write this the other day:
Everyone has a place in society and their local culture. It is easy to stereotype people you know, or at least make obvious connections to how they fit into the social spectrum. Often times, these labels/ stereotypes are all but flattering. Often times, the most stable attributes of a person are their most negative qualities, which is why they allow them to fulfill a position in the cultural spectrum. It would be easy to talk to someone you know well, and tell them how they are a puzzle piece precisely designed to fit a personality in your group of friends/ environment. Most people would not want to hear how they fit in.
It is very difficult however, to realize just how one self fits into that reference frame. When looking outward, it is very hard to stereotype one self. This is probably a good thing, if not a slightly purposeful greater design technique, because knowing ones position would not only be cause for action abnormal to their cause, but would be detrimental to the persons outlook on others. Most people would not want to know their negative qualities/ social stereotype.
I feel like I figured out mine and I don’t really like it so much. With the exception of six of the most wonderful hours in recent memory, this past week has been rather off. This extended is being well looked forward to by many, including myself. I’m only afraid that for once, I will be reluctant to come back.
So whatever you want, just have fun.
