Got out of work at 9am was just waiting til my class started and I saw some girl put this paper on a car. I noticed they parked all stupid after a truck parked in a way that blocked it in. A police officer showed up and i saw him pick up this paper and started laughing. I waited til he left to check it out. I was there for the whole thing! I wish I would’ve been there when the driver got there and realized what they’d done

The Lucha For Tacos

I've had a long day and have an early morning tomorrow or should I say later - 3hrs - before I have to wake up but I tried Tacos Lucha wt my cousin Brian a few hours ago. He loves ramen. We loved this place I'll write more about it later but all I can say for now is that I am truly inspired. He's superseding everyone's presumed assumptions in a fuck you type of way that I love.

Participant observation can alter your perspective because you're, in a sense, sharing an experience with the people you're observing; in the hopes that you gain a better understanding of whatever it is that you're researching. You gain rapport, and a hands on view of what the participant's society is like in better detail than say a survey. The disadvantages are that you are likely to become biased. If sociology is the study of how people are being shaped and influenced by a social force; and you're there sharing that social force you are to some degree losing your objectivity. The ethics is as subjective as this type of science is. Beatings and drive-by shootings are a reality of today's society. Someone's presence there won't always necessarily change the outcome. The point of Sociology is to get a better idea of how our society works and why it came to be so. If we don't have active participant observations, we might not get such a detailed description of what's going on in the lives of the every day people who encounter experiences like these often. It is imperative to our history that sociologists document these type of societal occurrences.

It feels good to apply myself to my studies

I like being ahead of the game

I love being the top of my class

I love that I'm capable and have the ability to grow intellectually

In a way I'm glad I don't have friends who are readily available to hang out all the time bc they're kind of distractions for the things I need to do for myself.

I think it makes me further appreciate when I actually do have time to hang out wt my friends and when they have time to hang out wt me even more.

I feel like lately I've gotten so much done

Work is cool

I just sold my old car

 

I'm caught up wt all my personal shit too

-my car is clean, as well as my room/rr., my toes and eyebrows are done

I have groceries and have started meal prepping

I'm my own best friend
