Yesterday, I was cleaning out some old files I'd transferred from my parents' computer a found a few papers and a project I'd done for a Psychology class I, apparently, took last Fall. I do not remember taking a college Psych class. I went as far as checking my transcript and it's there, so I guess I did take it. I also took a Humanities class that semester I'd forgotten about until I reread some of the papers I'd written.


While setting up for the team meal before the Homecoming game last night, I was recruited by my mum/other team mothers to take individual photographs of the players, because apparently Cady & Cady forgot about it this season. I ended up going on-field to shoot most of the game, too. It was like I was back in high school again. The football players still don't think I'm cool. I had a good time and got some good shots.


Occasionally, I'll catch myself thinking the "correct" way to go through high school is as a cheerleader if you are a girl and as a football player if you are a boy. So some part of me feels like I failed at this and Dustin is doing much better at high school than I did. He'll probably win Homecoming King next year.

I hope he does. I am living vicariously through my brother.

I am sometimes caught up in the mindset of society's imposition of roles--not necessarily focusing on individual achievement, but the attempt to "fit in" (while appropriately standing out). In high school I was "supposed" to be a cheerleader. As an adult, I am "supposed" to find a man, get married, and have kids. It's certainly dated, but I think it's somewhat still subconsciously pushed upon girls--just in a more covert way than it may've been in the past.
It's obnoxious.



I finally scheduled (and went to) my long-awaited dermatology appointment on Thursday. She took a biopsy of some skin on my shoulder and left me with two stitches. I'd never gotten stitches before and think they're rather cute.
For your viewing pleasure I am including a picture:




My mother wanted me to go to a play with her and my grandparents tonight and Rick wanted me to come hang out with a group at his house, but, rather, I have decided to stay in. Partially under the pretext of some homework I should get finished, but predominantly because I really enjoy staying at home.
