I guess being the procrastinator I am I just realized my new year's resolution. I think definitely this year lived up to what I had wished it to be. I really believe that I will always remember this year for many reasons, even when I'm old and wrinkly. But now as the new year comes, I really hope that I can simply live up to my name now. That's all. Without further ado, I bid this year farewell. I will definitely miss it.

Nine minutes left for me to play!

The conclusion of the semester is pretty much here. As these past few months have been quickly spiraling down like a funnel, I haven't been able to write much more than a few words that will remind me of the troubles I've been going through. Overall, I think I changed in grand ways I would never have seen myself. Its still taking some time to become accustomed to, but I like it.

As I recall upon the education I have received for these past four months, the one thing that really sticks out (or that I remember) is the sense of identity and the definitions of self that sociologists have been accustomed to. As I kept reading a numerous (not really) amount of books, their definitions of how self concepts are created or maintained all made sense, but to an extent. Our self identity ultimately comes from the collective identities that we take a part of. As one interacts with others more and more, more and more they will find out about themselves. Thus sociologists have concluded that the most effective of those collective groups is our cultural identity that we share with countless of other members. As we find similarities and differences we have with the other members, we create ourself identity. This creates the fragile self identity that is heavily reliant upon the collective identities. As I continued to write upon this subject in my term papers, I realized there was a even stronger force that creates a sense of self like no other. The interactions we have with God are the ultimate true source of understanding ourselves. I don't know the entire logistics of it, but the sense of self I found inside God has been greater than any other identity I used to have, and I realized that this is the ultimate identity.

Aside from that I am sure hungry. Running out of meal points suck.
