My advisor suggested that i take a class on participant observers in the fall and i was thinking about how much i’ve been a participant observer in my life lately and how wonderful wonderfully adventurous and absurd my life has been recently. My advisor is constantly reminding me that life is one big research project out there to be analyzed. There have been so many amazing lessons, so many crazy and wonderful experiences and so much support from those around me. I’m feeling utterly blissful lately and talking to my best friend all afternoon only reminded me of how much life is just a grand adventure that is meant to be watched and explored, gamed and questioned. Of course, she also made me realize that my shrink must think i’m a pathological liar for all of the absurd stories i’ve told him lately.
