So I'm reading this book for my ga ” Raising Your Spirited Child”. In reading it today I realized I was an extrovert. To those that know me well that statement probably got a ”duh” or ” seriously”, but I never saw myself as an extrovert because for the most part I'm not very outgoing, I'm shy upon meeting new people and keep personal stuff to myself. I thought I was introvert with an extrovert personality.
Point of all this? I also learned as an extrovert I need to share my experiences...which I do...the author explained that talking and communicating is how extroverts get their energy. Which is why I've decided to chronicalize (copyright...lol) my graduate year. I want to talk about it and darn it...I will! I think this will help me stay sane and be fun especially for the future to look back on. Still not sure if this is for me or for others...I guess time will tell.
Shall we start with the awesome labor day weekend I spent with my family.I have definitely gotten old because by Monday I was exhausted. But my motivation was the fact that this was probably the last time I would have any sort of fun for a year...lol
Went to j'ouvert for the first time. For those who do not know labor day weekend for Caribbeans is a big party... Brooklyn becomes one big party and you just hop from one to the other. J'ouvert is the pre-parade parade starts around 4am and different steel pan bands perform on floats...it was the best part of the weekend dancing in the street with each float's different style. Everyone was dancing, laughing, drinking and making sure the next person was having more fun than themselves. The best part of the weekend is this community that is created out of thin air and disintegrates by Tuesday morning. Aside from the people that were injured and killed, which is a lot more than it should ever be, its a time of worry free fun cross generationally, across races, and across beliefs.
Tuesday was to recoup and back to business on Wednesday. The first day of the end of my youth.
