pax vobicsum

Procrastination Moment


Pax vobicsum was under the section "selected foreign words and phrases used in English" I need to know for the MAT and it is my new favorite phrase. It means "peace be with you" in Latin. If I could, I would use it as my new locker combination.

When I was in high school, and I had to take the SAT. I'll admit that I didn't really care like I should have. A month before the test I contemplated really studying and making an effort... I really did. I figured "the SAT is supposedly kinda important so maybe I should care to some degree and study like everyone else or retake it a couple times," but I didn't study and went and took the test. A quarter way through the test, when the frustration, tiredness, confusion, hunger and minor headache was coming on, I decided that no matter what I was never doing that again. I figured as long as I was above or around 1100, I'd take it. So I took my score, and didn't look back. I was actually pretty proud of my score since I didn't study, although studying for tests like that never made sense to me in the first place. Some people are just great memorizers and have great study habits, parrots memorize all kinds of things.

However I do not have another $85 dollars for the MAT so I better pass.

God who cares about this testing crap? No one I realize but I don't have much going on.

Another great new term is eschatology, the study of the end of the world. Where can I apply for that job? I hope salary isn't based on a monthly quota.

I also learned about Harry Harlow, an American psychologist who studied the importance of attachment for baby monkeys.

Here are some things that I like to look at, maybe you will too. I love nature and the countryside, I find it more awesome and inspiration than anything material or human-made. It's like going to your first and foremost home.

and something else completely cute.
