There is something about being a guy that they don't like to change and I am one of these people that don't like to change either. But change is good and I do need to shake things up a little bit.
I have to admit it; I tend to get stuck into a rut but being in the same routine is boring. I do like the familiar but it looks like I am going through the same pattern week after week after week. I see the same people, eat the same food, whine about the same stuff....it does get boring. There is somewhat of a change in the college routine but I don't see much difference. It looks like there is a lot more freedom to do what I want to do - I don't have to have a class everyday that controls my life and it seems like I am bombarded with homework and studying. But with the freedom of evening classes, I have more time to do what I want.
I still will be occupied for a bit - it seems like I am going to be taking an online class that will occupy my time as well which will make me less bored but I need to shake things up and get a social life. There are a lot of amazing people out there and I think I need to open up a bit. I am a bit shy somehow, but deep down I am going to be social as well. I can be a pretty friendly person if I want to be, I just need to open up.
I am taking classes to get a better understanding of people and I won't be as intimidated by people. I will know what they are pulling and what makes them tick. With the psychology and sociology classes I have taken, I have a lot better understanding of people and the world around me than I used to be, which is a good thing. It looks like I have a totally different view of Wal Mart than I used to be.
The classes I have taken are very helpful, and I think the classes I am going to be taking will help my understanding of people. Social psychology is one of those classes which will enhance my understanding of people - I have taken psychology classes before but social psychology is going to be more in depth about the social dynamics of people and it is going to be backed by research and logic. The other classes has helped me as well - human development helped me understand each age group and abnormal psychology help me understand the quirks that people have. After taking a class in abnormal psychology, my view of high school seems to be a lot different than it used to be. The same thing with marriage and the family - I am seeing what is truly going on with these people in high school and what makes them tick.
The classes I am taking are going to be very helpful - I am going to have a more thorough understanding of people and what makes them tick. I tend to use these classes on myself instead of other people but eventually I'll use it more on other people.
Cultural anthropology is going to be an understanding of lifestyle. Marriage and the family is an understanding of lifestyle. It seems like I am having a broader and broader view of people, and I seem to be less intimidated by people. These classes are also starting to shape who I am and what I should do in life.
All these classes are going to help me with my everyday life and I am starting to feel like everything is okay. I am now less scared of the world than I used to be but in some ways I am more scared of the world - I a knowing what other people are pulling.
Some day I am going to put these skills to the test and put that into application for the real world - I am also just taking some real world get to the point classes that are actually going to get me a job. That might be good as well and it is going to help me have a better understanding of the world around me.
I am starting to realize that there are a lot of quirks out there than needs to be ironed out - I see flaws in people and I see definitive flaws in society. I hear bitching about the environment and the ecosystem - I don't see many flaws in that - we have enough food; I am not starving to death but I think it is the way people manage the food is causing them to starve to death. We definitively have enough food - more than enough food and we seem to be getting overfed to the level that we are obese - there is not a food shortage out there. The African people are really not starving to death - there are a lot of people but it might be a pecking order on the food and it seems like the people that are not starving to death seems to be children. It looks like the people in Africa seem to be pretty happy and healthy - they seem to have a way of managing their food that seems to be unfair and there is a definitive pecking order. The outsourcing of food from Africa to America is actually causing starving Africans - we should learn to actually make our own food and give some to them in a form of a charity, but I doubt the Africans are really starving to death.
I know this is a ramble but it is stream of consciousness blogging, which makes me discover my inner being. It looks like I am learning a lot about myself.
