I told myself this semester that I wouldn’t stay up past 11:00 PM1. Here it is, pushing 11:30 Pm and I haven’t even brushed me teeth yet. A quick blog entry then I’m off…

My psychology class was interesting today. It has me thinking about behavior and its predictability. I’m becoming more aware of how there psychological reasons for many of the things we do that we don’t intend to do. This idea fascinates me and has this plate spinning in my head, “what motivates us to do something?” Lucky for me, the next lecture in this class is on motivation.

The other class I’m in has an assignment due on Friday that has forced me to spend nameless hours working with Visio. I swear, that program will be the death of me. But alas, it is coming along and I don’t hate it like I did just one night ago.

Work is…well…interesting to say the least. I know I always say that but talk about a dynamic environment filled with intrigue and challenge. It sure keeps me wondering. Mostly wondering “what-in-the-hell”…but things always seem to work themselves out. Really, what are gonna do?

Picked up a book today called, “The Accidental Buddhist” by an American guy that chronicled his immersion into buddhist practice. A fun read yet eerily familiar in a lot of ways.

Dang its late. Must hit the sack.
