Exploded Thought of the Day

This week I concluded that my life as a college student is more unbalanced than a checkbook. Everything overlaps, and its almost too difficult to remember what task was for what class, student organizations, work and outside activities. But as a college student, I also have to realize that I am an adult and have adult responsibilities and they're there will be times that I will be faced with tough choices. And yep, these too will require adult decisions.

Over the past couple of days, I've had to face the facts that I'm no super woman. So I've prioritized for the remainder of the semester with what will really aid in me becoming the person that I truly aim to be. Look forward to most updated including writings about art, design, community development and my personal projects.

Here's an excert from my current read, Maya Lin's Systematic Landscapes:

"Experience is compounded of feeling and thought. Human feeling is not a succession of discrete sensations; rather memory and anticipation are able to weild sensory impacts into a shifting stream of experience so that we may speak of a life of feeling as we do of a life of thought. It is a common tendency to regard feeling and thought as opposed, the one registering subjective states, the other reporting on objective reality. In fact, they lie near the two ends of an experimental continuum, and both are ways of knowing." -Yi-Fu Tuan
