occupation & career .

Over the course of a lifetime it is now expected that people will change careers a multitude of times. Isn't is weird how something that was once so concrete, your single and solitary career, could suddenly become such a temporary thing? Perhaps this is the classic boredom factor -- people want to mix it up, they want new things. And if that career doesn't give them new things and new experiences and exciting experiences on a regular basis, well, then they're just going to drop it and quit.

This is not so for me.

Music Monday #12

Brandon Heath is one of the people I sort of discovered on a whim. I vaguely remember my mother mentioning him one time, and I probably heard him on Christian radio in the car while driving with her when I was younger. So I guess you could say he was always there, but I just didn't know who he was.

quick update .

Hey guys, so I've been under a lot of pressure to get a whole ton of work done -- we are approaching the end of the semester, and this week and next is the time when architecture is the busiest. All of a sudden people realize that there are really only two weeks left and it gets really hectic. Despite the fact that I am a week behind on blogs, I promise I will get to them eventually. I have a lot of topics I want to address, and discuss and just sorta rant and rave on about (in a good way, not in a complaining way). I like just exploiting my stream-of-consciousness thought process and implanting it upon the page and seeing what happens with that. So, that being said, bear with me for another week or so, and I promise I'll get back to the everyday deal soon enough. I've been keeping track of how many I've missed, and fully intend to bring that number back up to pace as soon as things settle down a bit.

Thanks for your patience.

i'm disappointed .

So as ridiculous as college acb is, I went on there the other day and just sorta browsed around, wasting some time. Everyone says don't take things on there seriously. And to some extent, I completely agree. But there are some things said on there that people truly believe. For example, I've realized in my time down here that the North-South debate very much still exists.

moving out .

It's a weird feeling to think that I'll soon be moving out of my house. In a sense, we've all sort of done that already -- at least I have. 8-9 months out of the year, I'm checked out of Jersey and in South Carolina. Sure, perhaps it's not my favorite place to be, but I'm there and more or less on my own. Just like in "real life" as I like to call it, there are requirements and responsibilities, deadlines to meet, and of course you need to take care of yourself too.

childhood .

Things were so easy when you were little. Get up. Eat the breakfast that was already sitting for you. Put on the clothes Mom laid out for you. Take the bus to school for like half a day and go home and do what you want. Swing on the swing set, get Mom to take you to the park, ride your tricycle around the driveway -- but make sure you don't go in the street, or Mom will get mad. In an attempt to both get my point across, I'm going to try something I recently saw on another blog I follow, but in a slightly different manner. A mother had to write what she thought her daughter would say about her, in her daughter's own words. And thus, I'm going to write about my childhood, as childhood me.

transcending reality .

I took AP physics in high school, and the class was an absolute miserable time, academically anyways. The teacher was the man, he was just tough and didn't take any crap. The kids I took it with were fun too, despite the common misconception that we were all nerds. We worked our butts off, but had fun doing it. Now before I begin rambling incessantly, I'm going to focus on the point at hand.
