Identity

Long time no see! I've actually been working on the Final Thoughts for the summer season (at a super fast rate of five characters per second) and felt like I couldn't post anything else before I finished that. Obviously you can see a change of heart since I'm here, but less of this and more about stuff that pertains to the title.

I was sitting in my physics class a few days ago and lab groups were going up and presenting their approach to finding the elastic potential energy stored in a toy gun. When one of the students went up and did their presentation, I found myself thinking about my history with that person. This led me to realize what changes that person had gone through since I first met them, and for the first time I actually looked at that person. Sounds corny right?

But yeah, it was an eye-opening experience. I saw things about that person that I had never seen before, and it was crazy because I had always assumed there was nothing else to see. It wasn't even that I judged that person by their cover solely, it was that I had completely misunderstood the cover.

That got me to thinking about how those around perceive me, and makes me wonder if anybody else has thought the same about me.

Me. Speaking of that. Heh.

I went to the UBC tour today with my good pal Jeff and got a tiny (and probaly incorrect) notion of what life on campus is like. To sum up my visit, I'll just steal something that I said to Philman about the experience: "But yeah I'm just enamored by the atmosphere there." Going to UBC has this certain glow to it, and to say that I successfully graduated from UBC is an accomplishment. Who knows though, at this point I'm just hoping to get in.

Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by to listen. It felt good to let some of these thoughts see the light of day. See you next time!

EDIT: So I actually finished this post after midnight... happy birthday to me?
