follow up to my quick observation

So i guess i was wrong. The first day back to school was very mellow and common. I expected there to be more abnormal interactions with those who have not seen each other in two and a half weeks. there didn't seem to be any showing off that was noticeable. people just fell back into the monotonous repetition of class. relating to what we have discussed in class, i dint see a big change in who was part of certain groups. unlike the beginning of the school year, people seemed to stay put with their friends groups. Not going out of their way to fit in with a new crowd.

I know that i have started to change who i hang out with. I am not reverting back to the friend group i have my freshman and sophomore year. I started to move away from that group because i wanted to see what else was there for people to do, not saying they were boring, just that different groups have different dynamics. i now am coming back to that group because it, for me, feels like a constant that i was missing. People that i easily fit into. This transition was made easy by my getting sick. I had no social life for about three weeks, and when i was able to venture out again i sort of got to pick who i wanted to hang out with. I am glad i didn't shun them too much so that i wasn't accepted back in.

a quick observation before class begins again

As i was reading a good amount, about 60 pages is good for me, of caucasia the past few days i related to it. Everyone knows that we have to deal with change when we go somewhere knew. we will all be heading off to college or something along those lines and have to revert back to being vulnerable and not knowing many if any people. eventhough it will be a big change we shouldnt forget what is right in front of us. when we come back on monday it will be an interesting sight to say the least. everyone will be looking around to see who might have changed, who might have gotten some new threads (some like to show off on a monday, not my style). but just keep an eye for what might be different from last calendar year, funny moments await

peace
