I love tracking themes throughout my classes, conversations, life. It really seems as though we operate within some form of collective unconscious, or perhaps it is just my single conscious that pinpoints these themes and stores them up for contemplation.

This week, the week of M.L.K. and Yes We Can, I contemplate what Julia calls "worldview collisions." I have collided worldviews quite often in my short 21 years. From elementary with mostly Mexican immigrants, to wrestling calves with wranglered cowboys, to getting the smack down on the reservation, to barely-tolerant Idahoan small towners, to excessively cool and refreshingly diverse Seattle, my little worldview is barely able to repair itself before crashing with another. Now, I am preparing for the biggest collision of all, and I can't wait! For, indeed, how CAN we grow outside of these collisions? If I sit here on the cozy lil NU campus forever, my subconscious stereotypes and prejudices are likely to never be erradicated.

All these thoughts swirling. Still not making much sense... but it is nice to get them out somehow.

In other random news, I am in the process of selling one of my photos! A total stranger on facebook sought me out because he saw that photo on a mutual friend's page and wants to buy it! I am still trying to figure out how much to charge, etc., but I am thrilled and incredibly proud. I posted a few extra pictures on my flickr page if anybody wants to see them.

If any of you want to buy prints from me, just let me know. ;) I will make you a sweet deal.

Alright, off to the homework world now, I suppose. I need to read the right book for class so I can wirte a paper on it this weekend.

Tomorrow, I dance. :D
