On The Mothership

You might be thinking, "Gee, Emma, are we ever going to get back to that series you so enthusiastically introduced to us a few weeks back?" Yes, we'll get back to that eventually, but this is my blog and I'll post what I feel most like posting. It's taking me some time to put together the next post in the "A Matter of Perspective" series, so just bear with me. So today. Today has been rather chill. I did a ton of sociology homework, wrote a couple hundred words of my novel, and finally finished up a little project I had planned for a while. All through this, I had my radio playing in the background. Rock music, of course. Some of it I didn't really like, but there's been Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, etc. so I've been satisfied. I've been taking some time in the past few weeks to do some new wall decorations and that has greatly improved my mood. I made: 1) A paper crane mobile that now hangs fro...

I'm taking a break from the series to break up some of the monotony. After all, that's what this post is about, anyway. Over the past few weeks, my life has been completely dictated by school. To the point that I rarely have a moment where I'm not stressing out about it. There's always homework to do and every time the new week begins, I'm technically behind already. So what to do about it? I realized earlier today that I'm not forced to do what I do. If I miss an assignment or don't get the grade I want, the world will spin on. If I don't do an assignment or miss one, I simply have to accept that it will effect my grade. And move on. You see, because I now realize that I am not forced to do this. I have a choice. Do it or don't do it. Of course, I'm going to do the assignments because I actually care about my future and will someday transfer to a university and I must keep my grades up for that to happen. However, it's th...

Yes hello and welcome back to the Matter of Perspective series. This week, I'll be reviewing a second cause of conflict: Judging vs. Perceiving. Now, if you're unfamiliar with the Myers Briggs Personality Indicators, feel free to explore this link and discover all there is to know about the personality types: http://www.myersbriggs.org/ So first off, why would this one thing make such a difference? Well, the judging and perceiving traits indicate how different personality types like to live their lives. Let's start with the judging trait. These are the ones who like things in order and exact. The devil's in the details and work must be done before play and done way ahead of the deadline, to avoid any unnecessary stress. Judging types like things to be decided and set in stone. Now, for the perceiving trait (which I'm going to be more fond of, in general, since I am an INTP). We are the ones who are open to new ideas, more loosely organized, and we work w...

Hello friends and welcome to April.  I first thought that I wouldn't be able to do a blog post today, but look at me. So school has basically been taking over my life and there's not been much time for anything else. Not even reading, which I value greatly. Because of this, my schedule's been a bit wild and most of my time is dedicated to my schoolwork, so there's not a lot of worrying about what I need to do and what I want to do. Aside from this, I have finally decided on what I want my major to be when I transfer to university. I'll be doing studio art, with a minor in piano performance. Fun times, right? So I've been doing more art lately because I must practice it if it's going to be my career. As for music I've been listening to, it's been a lot of the same stuff. Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, etc. Mostly Pink Floyd, though. Actually, probably too much Pink Floyd that I probably will go spiraling into the Void, never to be seen again....
