Correspondence 1 was about the places I study. Where I study, when I study. What works best.
Thoughts
I didn’t realize how often I’m in spaces with people. Sometimes it’s beneficial. Like we can keep each other accountable but also a hindrance because I can’t read when others are talking. But I can read if I’m listening to music? Whatever that means. Probably because it’s not actually conversation. I can re-listen to a song anytime I want but conversation usually only happens once with the exact phrasing. Also, a lot is about convenience. I’m usually always at Post. Like I live there so I don’t have to travel very far. Even when I go to SMC it’s right across the way and the green room is when I’m there already. I guess it makes sense. It’s less taxing on my body and I like not feeling terrible after doing everyday activities.
Correspondence 2
Correspondence 2 was about what I expect from my day versus what it actually is. I chose Thursday.
Thoughts
That week had been a little more out there in terms of my normal. Maybe not out there, I think that it was pretty normal for things to happen, just not an everyday occurrence. There are some other things that do normally happen in my everyday but I didn’t count them for some reason. I think cause it’s not a full guarantee. Like talk to my roommate. We usually always talk but it’s usually about different things and the time of day is also different.
Correspondence 3
Correspondence 3 was about groups and noticing how those people interacted and things of that nature.
Thoughts
I think this was my favorite correspondence. The experience was fun (for the most part) and it was normal but it wasn’t. These are shenanigans that would normally be gotten up to but not an everyday/every time occurrence. Like if someone knew us and asked what had happened they’d probably be like, “Yeah, that’s about right.” It was noticing too. How people interacted, the series of events, things like that that made me enjoy it so much. It was fun observing. I usually do notice things but actively doing it was engaging and made me feel like I was narrating a nature documentary.
