Do good things, It's the only way to survive.

     "It's simple really. You can't discuss politics like Syria in a university setting anymore; We have too many Middle Eastern students that think totally different from American students. We can't come to a clear, answer with all of these people thinking wrongly of us". - the genius state university students sitting at the next table.      I don't know what hurt worse, trying to keep with the crowd and eating my soup before it was cool, or the absolute atrocious logic from this "university student". As my tongue and ears burned from their respective assaults I watched as these two people talked of the great imperfections of the world. They were both going to be great scholars and thinkers and had to think of the global issues. I slowly chewed through my sandwich and slurped my soup as I listened, painfully, as they both debated the same small sliver of reality they lived in. I looked at them and couldn't help but be grateful of my "simp...

What do you do, when you do to much, but don't have enough to do?

With the fall semester done and my program not actually starting until fall of 2014 I've hit an awkward place.  I don't know what to do with my time. I mean I still work 60+ hours a week, but I don't have brain burning work to fill every waking (and some sleeping) hour of my life! Like, I still have nightmares about just needing to find X! So I'm working on things to start doing to occupy my mind. Here's my list so far. This blog! I want to be move active writing in general. I have no idea where i want to go with this. I want it to be a conglomeration of what's going on. i might write about interesting calls I do. Things I'm learning/studying, recent musings, and other projects.  Returning to YouTube. I don't want to "vlog" or V-log as will start calling it thanks to Danisnotonfire . I enjoy acting, writing, and insanity... so V-logs and skits seem perfect for me... Magic the gathering! *sigh* This is slowly but surely becoming a new thin...

On Monday Eliza and i managed to have mos of a day off together, this being a small miracle in of it's self meant it was time to get into the Christmas spirit! We had been meaning to build gingerbread houses and get a tree for weeks but our schedules weren't about to allow it. But on this wonderful Monday we were able to get some time together and go get our tree! Now being the wonderful, enviormental, tree hugging, good people we are we decided to forgo a the tradition of going and cutting down an evergreen for the pleasure of growing one! We got this sweet heart who is now living on our kitchen table and when late spring rolls around we're going to go find a good place for her to live. preferably in a grove of her fellow kind that will give her insight and guide her to become a big strong tree. However, for now she is our baby. Like all babies she is best kept high up on a table with a bow and wrapped up in lights! With our lovely tree watered and spar...

Summarization of My Introduction to Psychology.

Below is the paper I turned in this semester for my introduction to psychology. Please feel free to comment! I know my formatting and grammar aren't perfect and it only helps to have people nit pick it! I have the Drive link up so people can comment on specifics if they like. Thanks! Summarization of My Introduction to Psychology. Nicholas S.J. Southern Maine Community College - Department of Psychology Abstract During my semester of Intro to Psychology I have learned a lot to positively affect my life as a student, husband, and person. Some of these things have been more profound than others. Of all the information we went over this semester the things that have stuck with me most are memory, health psychology, and motivation.      “the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context”. (psychology, 2013) is the definition of psychology according to Oxford Dictionary. Psycho...
