field notes 2

17 July 2002 I am beginning to get a better feel for the class. I think everyone is becoming more comfortable and starting to let go and be themselves. I still have not connected with anyone and still feel that my changes in the last year are going to create a more interesting subject for my research. I have to change my old class notes for Beth this weekend. I am starting to get a feel for how I am going to approach this social action theme and to be honest it is not going to come out as the liberal social engineers that created this nationally expect. I am too set in my ways, cantankerous, and classically tolerant to submit to this process as a good socialist would. sigh even the Centre for Social action has a proper ‘worldly’ name. I am curious to see how others handle this assignment. I think that with the piece I am currently working on that some people in the group will be surprised at the approach I am taking.
