Journal #3

     After browsing everyone else's blogs and journal posts, I have come to the conclusion that I need to think of better titles for my posts. Good job to everyone who thought of clever title for their posts, you've done good.

     This prompt really made me rethink my route. Instead of my usual route up to the Joe and around the Quad, I decided to focus more around the dorms and the people that interact around them. Leaving my room and progressing down the wing, it came to mind that the very floor I live on is segregated by male and female, mostly because the other wing is WiSE (Women in Science and Engineering) with the keyword being "Women" where as my wing is the Engineering wing and is predominately male. While we do share a floor together, there isn't very much mingling between the groups, well yet, I think the lines will blur with time. I don't think we have been here long enough to personalize our spaces into a framework of male/female only spaces but given adequate time we might see a morph in the personal spaces as well as the wings in the dorm.

     Continuing my walk, I began to notice a connection between the ability of mobility and a sense of what is personalized. The students that don't have a direct connection to the dorm, like some of us, seem to have a lack of what is personalized. They don't feel as connected as I might since I live on campus and am more directly involved with school stuffs. Now I'm not saying that students that don't live on campus aren't involved or are disconnected, I just feel that they seemed more distant while observing them today.

     I feel I should write some sort of catchy and witty conclusion here but I'm not really sure how to do that. Either way I need to wrap this up and look forward to seeing my classmates in class.
