The personal side of AT Options

[Astrid]

Sitting here in the school library between classes, ultimately bored and exhausted, I've come up with an idea some of you may either immediately disregard as a waste of time or find some interest in. What is it that we do? How many of us are high school students? College students? Which major? How many of us have completed that tedious part of our lives and achieved a career?

I'm a college student, who after months of trial-and-error has finally settled on Philosophy as an appropriate major. I entered school as a psych major, then chem, then physics, then math, then philosophy and physics, and now just philosophy I finally realized that I wasted entirely too much time trying to pick one and just decided to go for the shortest and most enjoyable. Nothin' better than arguing with a classful of people about the validity of the substance of an inanimate object :D Anyway, I plan to eventually become a professor and mess with my own students' minds. I'll throw enough Nietzsche, Plato and Descartes their way to make them question society and reality all the way to the looney bin. I love my major :D How about you guys?

Also, hobbies. Other than gaming, do you guys like anything? I used to take martial arts for a very brief period of time, but temporarily injured my knee, so I'll switch to archery until it heals. I'd call myself an avid comicbook fan, but after recieving more disappointing news in the direction of the X-Titles, I plan to quit them cold turkey (I've said this at least a million times in the past).

Any writers out there? If so, please participate in the FFXI role playing game on http://www.geneticrevolution-home.com (Heh! Shameless plug )

Anyway, this happens to be the aftermath of my sleepless, in-between-class, Tuesday boredom.

Hey, you all know what I'm not about. I like cheeseburgers, french fires and long walks on the beach. During my spare time I enjoy doing cartwheels off 80 foot buildings. I think it's cool for everyone to get to know each other a little bit more.

Actually, I'm a business major with a focus on management. I think my interests speak for themselves *coughgamingcough*. But I'm less of a gamer at times and more interested in the developement aspect. Other hobbies? Well, I like to do a lot of things, but listing them all would seem so generic.

Anything else about "me" can't be described unless you know me personally. But i'll try. I'm fairly capable at understanding people and the reason they do/act in certain ways. That isn't something you can easily see or find out about me unless you know me personally "face to face." But on the same end, even though I might know what a person is feeling and symphathise, I'm going to be very blunt about something if it is a serious matter. There is a CLEAR DIFFERENCE between being rude and being blunt, and I'm not a disrespectful person. If someone is an adult, I expect people to be able to swallow their pride and take it as is. The way I see it, you can't think without feeling and you can't feel without thinking. Get too logical and things become sterile and uncaring. Get too emotional and a person stresses over nothing without thinking about the greater good.

I'm just stating all that cause it's a part of who I'm and also relates the neccessary skills utilized in my field.
