I Have Absolutely No Idea Where This Will Go: The Blog

So today has been uneventful, yet strangely pleasant. I have seen nothing that has made me made me wonder about the state of the world. I stayed in my own little world, took pictures, and talked to Thorn. It was nice.

Hmm... Maybe there is something interesting here, in staying in your own world. What does that mean for me as a person? Is it okay for me to just sit back and pretend their are no problems, in the world? I don't know...

This is a little more incoherent than normal because I have no plan, although I had a few ideas earlier, I have forgotten them all.

This might just be a filler post, maybe I will talk about where I am as a person.

I got some grades finally, and I have 2 A's so far, and 2 unknown grades. One of the A's was in an absolute joke of a class, which was entitled Linguistic Anthropology. I have found, in the classes that I have taken, that I care very little for how anthropology is taught. And I guess this comes down to how I see learning, and what I find important.

In my anthro classes, the importance was often put upon the name of a person, not necessarily what they discovered, or realized. I may understand how a specific theory works, but I didn't earn the point because I could not name the person who came up with the theory. This would be like a math test asking you who came up with the quadratic formula. How incredibly rediculous would that be? Isn't the importance in being able to take an idea, synthesize it in your mind, then utilize in a real world manner? Knowledge to me is action, if you understand something and apply it to the world then that knowledge is successfully implanted. If you know the name of the person who created that knowledge, that is all well and good, but does not mean you can implement its uses.

Knowledge is really action and understanding, not facts. Facts are important, but should not be considered the main reason for learning.

O well, such is life!

Let me look at some good. I am feeling happy, I am very much in love, and I am enjoying my life. I have a week off before I start job hunting for a summer job, since work just ended. I do need to make a dentist appointment though. I am working on a new art piece for my flickr account, one of my paper creations. I think it will be cool, and have some nice hidden meanings. Thorn, don't ruin it :) hehe. Anyway, thank you all for sticking by me the last week that I didn't post. Things are picking back up!

Good night everyone and sweet dreams.
