Reflecting

The reason that I wanted to be in this seminar class is because I felt so unsure of my path coming into college. I was (and am) unsure of what I want to study and do, and I thought that being in a seminar class would help me to figure myself out. Right now my path is uncharted, and there's nothing wrong with that, but by the end of the semester I hope I have more clarity with what I want to do.
So far seminar has been a bit different tan what I expected. It's a lot more interactive than what I would've excepted, but I'm enjoying it, and I'm enjoying getting to know other people in my class.
On the wandering map we did in class last week, two major themes I found were places and hobbies, although they rarely overlapped. Places and hobbies did both tend to overlap with people, though. I found that most of the places that I love are intertwined with memories and dreams that I share with friends and family.
 One place that I listed is New York City, which I've always dreamed of living in. My friends and I used to go visit and see plays often, and now a few of my friends are living there. It will always have a fond place in my heart.
Another place I listed is Lexington, Kentucky, where I visited a few years ago for my cousin's wedding. That struck me as an important place because all of my family was together at once, which hadn't happened for about 6 years before that.
With my hobbies, I noticed that they are social hobbies, which surprised me. Almost all of the hobbies are things that I do with friends, such as going to baseball games with my dad and brother, and making music with my friends.
I guess the overriding theme of the web was people. Although there are not a lot of people that I specifically listed, the people that I did list connect with everything else. It is interesting to have what is important to me laid out on paper and to see how everything connects.
