Back for it's third iteration, and still longer than any other.
You know what to do. Just post about stuff. Your life, your insanity, or even your favorite cardinal direction.

I started school several days ago, starting on my teaching courses. I partnered up with some guy named Paul, some pretty old guy but he's an interesting guy. We don't agree on some deeper topics but thats fine. I was just trying to send him a message about what we could teach the class as our project but it seems he isn't on the roster right now, hm.. Well, aside from that, class this semester should be good and fun. The hardest course will also be interesting, taking Algebra and looking deeper into how it actually functions (Algebraic Structures). Everything else is pretty easy, like Linear Algebra. I'm taking an Introduction to Proof course as well, to help me mentally formulate how I approach proofs better. I have one I should work on before class today, its a pretty interesting logic question, but I think the answer requires more work than what you would think it does. Has to do with hand shaking, and there's 5 couples (10 people), and the most someone can shake is eight hands. At the end, the host asks everyone how many hands everyone shook but everyone gave a different answer. The question then asks how many hands his wife shook. I came to the conclusion that its four, but I can't 100% prove it so i'm going to work on something to present the class.

I think the most fun this semester will be my teaching stuff. I'm planning to go to a school for their school period once a week and sitting down in a classroom watching a teacher teach and possibly helping out. There's other work I gotta do, like going to a conference and writing several papers, but that right there will be the coolest part. I hope I can participate, i'd love to share some of my ideas.

Being done with school now, I should come to decide on what I want to study at university (although I plan on half a year of living as a NEET to take care of some things I did not have the time for till now). Theology would very much interest me, but the problem is that while priest would actually be my favourite future occupation, I imagine there to be a few slight complications with my philosophy Buddhism and Taoism more than Catholicism… Perhaps I should take Philosophy instead, and then something else.

Try to focus on taking courses that are pretty middle road that would apply to what you like and to other fields too. I'm sure eventually you'll figure out what you want to do. All I can suggest is don't take something you think is a hobby; pick up something you know you can do for the rest of your life doing.
