The Nameless

updated links, it has been a while since I have used this space.

I think having this blog will be useful now, giving the direction my life has taken. On 11/25 I was notified that I was being laid off of my job. My official last day at the office was today, Merry Christmas. All things considered though I think that this is a positive thing. I had been basically stagnating at work for about ten years or so. I hadn't been happy in about six years, and had not really cared for about four. To paraphrase the movie "Office Space" I was doing just enough not to get hassled by my bosses, or get fired. A topic for another post is why I never pursued advancement at my job. Trust me I have stories about my former place of employment. Now however the future is wide open. I have chosen to forgo rejoining the job market, and finish up my B.A. degree. If you have been following this blog at all, you would know that I am in school. This semester I applied for and was accepted as a transfer student at UMBC. In fact, I received the acceptance letter a

 

 

Been slacking on my promise to write something everyday, meh. Anyhow, the semester is over, and my overall GPA is a 3.5. I got an A in the lecture portion of the astronomy class which honestly surprised me, but I’m not complaining. This lowers my overall GPA from a 3.86 to a 3.85 and after discussions with Crisy and Mom I have decided not to retake the lab. Instead I will be focusing on transferring out of HCC to a four year school, which one? I do not know yet. I will have to visit schools and decide, that is one my projects for the summer. On a related note, Crisy asked me if I wanted to join Mensa. I am easily smart enough if all the assessments and IQ tests I have taken over my life are correct, but honestly I have no real desire to join Mensa. The thing is, all of the Mensa groups and members I have come into contact with, do not do much of anything, save sit around and feel smugly superior because of how smart they are. I really do not need to join Mensa to feel smugly superio

Well, it's certainly been awhile in updating this blog. I am really going to attempt to update more often, as writing something everyday will probably help me become a better writer. So, what has been going on in my life? Well for starters, I just finished another semester at school, I took Astronomy and it associated lab course. It looks like I will be getting a B in the lecture portion of the course, which is fine, and a C for the lab, which I cannot accept. I will more that likely retake the lab course to improve my grade. I lost focus this semester, although my work was solid, and calculations were spot on according to my teacher, I just did not turn in the assignments. That is personally unacceptable and I can and will do better. For the first time In my life, I have a good GPA (3.86) and I will not allow myself to ruin it. In other news I read something interesting last night. Apparently anthropologists believe that given enough time, humans can out run any other animal on
