Neverending crazy.

Ohmygoodnessthishasbeenacrazyweek. Got that? Yeah, so if you didn't notice, I've been having a bit of a crazy week. Sadly, my life won't stop being crazy anytime soon. The beginning of this week was a bit crazy because I had this massive paper due Wednesday at five and I was really struggling to get it to the point that I'd be satisfied with. I think it ended up being a really good paper, but it definitely took a lot of time. Plus it was a pretty intense topic and needed to be extremely detailed so it took a toll on my brain. On top of that, I started my new job yesterday. I'm working at Panera Bread. It's a new Panera Bread that is opening next week so it's been crazy training and stuff. Next week will definitely continue to be crazy because it will be the opening. It will be busier than a Panera normally would, it will be mostly new people working who aren't 100% sure of what they're doing, and there's going to be far more employees working at once than it would normally have. So that craziness will continue next week. Not to mention that I still have classes and assignments too. Fun fun. I'm also likely to be opening some days which means I'll start work at 5am.

30-Day Challenge #1: TED Talks.
Day 20.

So, in honor of my overloaded brain this week, I found this TED talk by Iain McGilchrist about the brain. He explains the division of the brain. It's pretty interesting, and it's an animated drawing tyoe video which is cool. It's a Best of the Web talk, so it's embedded from youtube. Enjoy.




Oh, and for a Snowtober update, my parents are still without power, as is about 42% of my hometown. Should have full restoration by the end of the weekend. Insane. Unacceptable, CT, unacceptable.

Crazy days = Brain overload

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.)
