In class writing (groundwork)

My first impressions of my field site were that it was big. However after being there for a longer period of time I came to realize just how small it was. Since I have been away from it for a while though, and when I go back, I don't think about the size at first. My first impression is more along the lines of how comfortable I feel there and familiar it still is. I will be asking why does the team practice in the commons though, when there is the whole school, plus two gyms. The landscape could best be described quite easily, its a building. Its not only a building, but a high school, so you can imagine how it looks. There are brick walls, windows, square designed carpet, and rooms everywhere.
When I go to the new space I feel very comfortable and welcome. Since I was once a member the space is kind of like a second home, so when I visit the field site it is like I am going home. I always feel very welcome when returning to my field site because all of the members (insiders) run to me and welcome me back with hugs. It is different in a few ways though, because now instead of being on the other side of the power, I get to sit with the coaches and give advice to the team. So the power level has shifted in a way.
I am now pretty much considered an outsider. The reasons why I am an outsider is because I no longer go to that high school, also I am no longer on the dance team. I feel extremely like an outsider when I see them out on the dance floor performing and I know I can't go out there and perform with them. Also they get all of the new outfits and clothes for the new year, and I no longer get those clothes anymore. Part of being an outsider in this subculture includes not knowing all of the news about whats going on and the dates of when they perform which dances and the practice schedule. All of that information is more easily obtained when you are an active insider.
