Okay. So here's the deal. I posted yesterday my post for Halloween right? Since my internet was down I couldn't do it on the right day. So then I was going to do a 2nd post later on at some point. Well obviously I didn't manage that. I had this massive paper due today, and despite starting it well in advance it still came down to the wire for some finishing touches and editing. So before I realized it, it was a new day and I hadn't done my second post. I chose sleep (key to success) over doing another post. So I figured I would play catch up today and write two posts. Well that's seems pointless because by the second post I would have nothing to say. So I'm just going to put both videos into this one post. Got it? Plus, I don't have much to say anyway because it's getting to that point in the semester where life is hectic and my brain is on overload. Can you tell? Oh, and Happy Hump Day.
30-Day Challenge #1: TED Talks
Days 18 & 19
Okay so this first one goes with my whole environmental theme. I was talking to some people today about my passion for the environment so this seemed kind of fitting. This one is interesting because it is a talk by Mitchell Joachim about combining biology and architecture to make organic, green homes. It is a very interesting concept. I love biology (I do have a degree in it after all) and I am fascinated by architecture (my brother is an architect) so I find it fascinating to combine the two. Enjoy!
Okay so for this second talk, I chose a talk by Derek Sivers about how to start a movement. It's kind of interesting because he includes some rather interesting footage to support his ideas on how to start a movement. It makes valid points, and is pretty entertaining. Enjoy
Now, I promise that every thing will go back to the daily normalness (except for my hectic life right now, that won't change.)

You're doing it wrong.
30-Day challenge # 1: TED Talks
Day 5
Well hello there. I bet you were worried I forgot to post today and had already failed my 30-day challenge without even reaching day 5. (Was anyone even invested in this enough to be worried? I mean really...) Have no fear, I did not forget. I was merely writing a paper all day (on good practices in higher education) so that I could get it out of the way. Then I had class for three hours, and kind of wanted to eat dinner after that.
Anyway. Since yesterday was a really long talk that I shared, and today has been a busy day for me and probably for you (Happy Hump Day) I went for a talk that was shorter. This one is less than 3 minutes long (only by a second, but still...) It's a talk by Terry Moore about how to tie your shoes (riveting, I know but just watch it because it's a tad bit interesting.
Never knew that. It reminds me of this time back in health class in my freshman year of high school. My friend Justine sat next to me and in the middle of class she noticed her shoe had come untied, but she didn't want to bend down to tie it. So she put her foot on my knee and made me tie it. Which of course I did. She told me that I tied shoes wrong. I had always tied my shoes by making two "bunny ears" and and tying them together that way. So she then took it upon herself to teach me to correctly tie shoes the way everyone else apparently ties them. All while Mr. Pagel was in the middle of teaching. At one point he asked us what we were doing and when we replied with teaching me how to tie shoes correctly he just shook his head. He proceeded on with teaching, knowing that it wasn't worth the effort to stop us. We still managed to learn everything he was teaching anyway. Anyway, she taught me how to tie my shoes the way everyone else does which is what I now do, although apparently that's wrong too.
I find it interesting that something as simple as which way you tie your shoes can actually make all the difference. Simple stuff today, but hope you enjoyed. I'll find something a bit more interesting tomorrow, and maybe something funny. I'll see what I can find. Good night (or day I suppose depending on when/where you're reading this).
