A question

Just a quick question regarding the notation in the category notes: Which notation are we using,

1)
A set objects: 𝒜 . The set of morphisms associated to the objects: Hom 𝒜 = Hom 𝒜 X Y | X Y 𝒜 . The category itself: 𝒜 Hom 𝒜 .

or

2)
The category itself: 𝒜 . The set of morphisms associated to the objects/category: Hom 𝒜 . A set objects: ???

?

The hand written notes seem to mostly follow (1) but to sometimes use (2). If this is intentional abuse, should it be noted?
