lots of teeth, nothing to bite

Took out my old skateboard for a spin today

It was wonderful. It’s been years since I’ve street skated so I was a bit rusty at first. I was able to get nollie pop shuv its, bs/fs 180s, and heelflips. It’s remarkable how focused I get when trying to land something. My mind focuses exclusively on skating and nothing else. All I can hear is pop, catch, land. My heart rate starts to raise and some sweat starts forming. I do more and more until finally I get tired and sit down.

And then my absolute favorite part - coming down from the high of skating. After everything was so loud and focused, sitting and listening to how quiet and soft the world is. Looking at the sun lit trees and clouds as my heart slows. Not having any thoughts. Just being.

“In this society, if a man is called a woman, that’s the biggest insult he could get.” He arches his eyebrows skeptically and asks, “Is that because women are considered something less?”

“I seems the world is still more titillated by a man who wants to become a woman’ than it is by ’ a woman who wants to become a man.’ The first is scandalous, the latter is taken for granted. This reflects the very different levels of privilege men and women have in our society. Of course women want to be men, the general attitude seems to be, and of course they can’t. And that’s that.”

I was a bit unsure of how to approach these Psychology courses this semester

As a science major, our coursework is saturated with concrete science classes where it goes, “this is the material, memorize it, then apply that information in graduate school”. Don’t get me wrong, I found immense satisfaction through my course work and having a knowledge base with which I can apply to further study is something I am thankful for.

This semester I’m taking two Psychology courses (Abnormal Psych and Sport&Exercise Psych). Psychology classes are different. They offer an opportunity for introspection and analysis of personal development. They provide a framework through which to view the growth of self. I really, really like it. The only other place I’ve been able to have these kind of personal growth discussions are through the RA position. I think I’ll learn some really great things this semester.
