About me

As I am considering what subculture to study I am finding it far more difficult that I originally thought it would be. I am unsure what will fit my schedule and be of significant interest to me to make this work. Also I live forty minutes from Muncie so making extra trips for meetings will be hard. If I go with the Native American group I know my own heritage will play a big part in my view as I have a that in my family history and have always wanted to learn about it. My lack of exposure may cause problems as I have little real clue what to expect. My biggest problem seems to be that most things I would be interested in studying either do not have regular meetings or may not meet frequently enough to meet the course requirements. The few I have thought of that might fit both of those criteria have no connection to the school. I know from talking to many of my female friends and from the safety message in class that many people feel fear from going to places they don't know. This is where some of my 'fixed' attributes really will help. I am male and pretty large so I do not scare easily. I have frequently been exposed to situations that other people around me were hesitant or flat out afraid. These did not affect me. I am older than any of the other students and therefore likely to be old than most of the people attached to any group at the school. This doesn't concern me much as I have always fit in with younger people. If anything this factor seems an advantage to me. By having more life experience than most I tend to be able to read people fairly well and understand what they mean even when they can not seem to express it well.
