Its just a hat

No, it's not just a hat. Towards the end of the acting session, i heard somone say " It's just a hat". I was thinking no it isn't, well physically yes, but in the emotional setting we put ourselves in it wasn't that general at all. We all had our own meaning to it, when you put yourself in a mindeset that your going to steal a hat from somone you are mad at at the moment (in my case it was my mother) , another story between you and the person comes through the action. It isn't just stealing a hat anymore. You start feeling guitly or angry or sad, because of the emotional backgroung you have your mind putting you in. When i tried the activity my self , it was wierd because i walked in at first like nothing but when i went to pick up the hat somehow my mind made me think i was actually stealing from my mother out of revenge. I even got the sense of the room and what the object was. Then when i started to walk away it started to dissapear slowly but still make me happy becuase "i got revenge" on my mother. I think this activity cracked something in them they didn't  know they had, i would love to do it again!

Stac web?

Today's activity added new things to my "library" ! In STAC, we had to write our names connected to things we loved and from whatever we loved, why we loved it etc. At first it was hard because i started to get the "block buster" syndrome, trying to find the best things to love . Now thinking about it , it makes me laugh because the web is about me so i have no one to impress besides myself ! Anyways, while creating the web, the newbie next to me Grace had things in common with me .We both realized this so we decided to connect what we had in common to each other's webs. After doing that , then Sabrina connected, then Sarah and so on. It was really awesome to see that this web connected us. When you backed away from the wall to see it , it almost looks like a time line or a family tree diagram. When I came home thinking about this I noticed that, even if one person loved video games, some how it was the same as if I loved pasta . We are all connected like a little family!
