Shopping and Crying

My mind first shot to a woman finding her perfect wedding dress and having it bring her to tears. 

Everything is a remix notes

Remix: to combine older, already existing materials to create something new

In old times creativity was only a creation of the divine, now it is seen as a heightened accomplishment. 

Many claim their creations as their own in which they created from within out of nowhere. Largely uninfluenced. 

Lightbulb is our biggest symbol for creativity, when really it's usually an incoherent mess, not one moment of insight. 

We actually create using three elements; domain knowledge (copying), transformation (creating variations), combinations (merging together).

Original ideas are now considered property. 

Pre will

A) I don't know much about Hamlet. I'm pretty unfamiliar with it. 

B) He wrote Romeo and Juliet and Julius Ceaser. He lived in old England. He uses a lot of puns and literary techniques like iambic petameter. He writes in old English which makes it hard to understand. 

C) So many people frown at Shakespeare because we find it hard to understand due to the fact that it's written in old English and played it's style. 

D) To make Shakespeare easier to study we could work on translating it to today's vocabulary.

Character Study 3

Move in day- just two high school best friends, terrified of moving away from their families into a dorm room together. One young blue eyed girl with fear in her eyes clinging to another with an equal amount of fear. The only thing they were both sure of, was that together, they could make it through the next four years of college. The first few months went as normally as anybody's first few months of college could be. It wasn't until a foggy Tuesday morning that their college experience became a little less than normal. As the duo strolled to their first class together they discussed wether or not to go home to see their families the next weekend. They were in the middle of a heated debate over it as they walked into class, only to come to find that there were no desks, chairs, computers or professors, only 30 other equally as confused college freshman and a projection of a rather  intriguing statement. "You have one consequence free month, do what you will with it. Your clock starts now." The pair took a single side step towards each other as the nerves struck. Still, two months later, the only thing that they were sure of was that together, they would make it through, and sticking together is exactly what they decided to do. Luckily they came prepared to class. Between the two of them they had; two laptops, two cell phones, their passports (which they both carried 24/7), a single journal with an array of pens, two notebooks, two credit cards, and a single common dream. Knowing that they had a single consequence free month to do whatever they please with, they started off their ticking clock with a phone call home. They both resorted to leaving messages. Messages that stated nothing more than "We're okay and we'll see you in a month." With that being said and done, once the nerves and fear had passed they headed to the airport to embark on the journey of their dreams. As the two stared wide-eyed at the huge constantly changing board of flights, they realized that their common dream wasnt to go anywhere in particular, but to just go somewhere, as long as they were together. And this was how their journey together continued after high school but before the rest of their lives. To this day they give a special thanks to their anonymous professor that changed the course of their lives forever. 

MY DASHBOARD

Call me old fashioned but these are my organizational dashboards and that's how I like it. 

I highly suggest this approach to organization.
