The New Semester

My last full semester here at CCAC. This semester is a bit more demanding than previous, but as expected so. Along with the classes I am taking at CCAC I also cross-registered for a class at the university of Pittsburgh. The class i am taking there is a history and philosophy of science class named Einstein for Everyone. An extremely interesting class so far. Also in the process I am checking out Pitt for the purpose of applying there.

There's a chance I could be writing more in this soon to come...

Looking for Inspiration..

Sums it up right now. Lacking the inspiration to continually post, and other things in my life.

Midterms

Midterms are this week~ Been busy. I have an interesting video I have that I'll put up about fish running away from shadows.

KongZi(Confucius) and the Analects of

"Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese thought and life."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucius

I've read a little and heard about Confucius. I've yet to go in depth about any of his writings and philosophies. According to my Chinese friend in Qingdoa I should read Analects of Confucius then I will know China and the Chinese a lot more. Apparently that is how they learned their customs and behaviors etc. that carries on today although times are changing. As a philosophy major, I will inevitably cross paths with this hugely impactful man. Here's a link my friend gave me to possibly the entire book though I plan to buy a translated version in time:

Introduction

Well I finally did it. I made a blog. After the initial thought arose months ago to make one I did it. I wanted to practice my writing and thought that if I would just keep writing I would improve. That's what made me think of making a blog, but I realized(although i knew) that there is so much more to this than just writing. So much potential. Anyhow, some information about myself and the site:

I am 25 years old living in the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pa. I recently decided to go back to school (which I'll get in to later) about a year ago and finish my degree. I intend to transfer next year and double major in pre-med/biology and philosophy. You can expect a lot of posts relating to these subjects/areas of study.

Why the title of the blog?

Well first I expect my random self to have random posts on random topics. Key word random. Therefore the Title Pandora's Thoughts seemed some what appropriate. The subtitle A Journey relates to me, my personal quests and the inevitable road ahead that is before us/me.
