abnormal week 9 and 10

Well week nine was spring break and that was quite nice and good to take a bit of a break, be away from school and choosing to think about it very little. Well Happy to return though week 10 started out good. Of course larry had interesting things to talk about from his vacation in Hawaii, he does seem to really involve himself in the world and capture some amazing things. He began to talk about the fact that students are bored and what can we do about this? I sort of began to agree with him as well, but viewing boredom as the vessel for behavior not as the motive. My thought was that cultural/ societal expectations play into this heavily because we are all born and immediatley told how to behave if we want to be respected by the ones around us, then we must comply with them, in the beginning, because that is survival. But when we get older it seems that people still are completely invested in this following expectations of family or peers or better yet money. So people remove themselves of their desires and seek what is pointed to as being important, often removing their own importance. So in class they are not there because they want to be, a select few are, but because they are told this is the means to hapiness and this what they must do. I'd say that's partly true for me but also I enjoy learning immensely. I connect further with myself by taking classes that inspire me to ask questions of why and why not. I have enjoyed looking for the creation of things beyond people's beliefs and into the heart of foundation for those beliefs. I am generally a selfish person I do whats best for me rarely moving beyond that unless it somehow benefits me. What I enjoy most though is acting on my behaviors and feeling with love.
