Today was such a strange and long day, I got up at 6:30am and was rushing around trying to get my act together, trying to remember to bring homework, tuition thing I need to bring to work on other projects etc. It suddenly became 7:25am and I thought I had to leave in five so that I could get to class in time and I didn't even put a brush through my hair yet, argh! Then I realized that it was Monday not Tuesday and that I didn't have to leave as early to get to the port campus on time. I got myself together in a half hour and had ample time, and went to school.
Today in Foundation Computer class we were working in Photoshop and when I left the class room at the end my brain was dead, I wanted to get to the bus stop by Scotia Square and it seemed my body was just leading me in random directions down and across the building. I had to stop. Were was I going again, how would I get there? I mapped out several routes quickly in my head and decided to pick one; no that's not the best one; what about this one? No. Okay this one. I started walking and realized that our old campus which is a mass of old buildings which are connected and reconnected continuously is sort of like the human thought process in a way. A thought is so random, and non-linear drifting from one thing to the next and sometimes not knowing where your going and forgetting where you just were, and there are multiple ways to get to one place in particular. Then I started thinking about the computer and how there are so many different ways just to get to one place and humans created the computer and their programs with such structure and yet they can be manipulated in such non-linear ways ex: the Internet, you go on a web site, see an ad of a link and click on it, then go so where else from there etc. Soon you end up somewhere completely different an hour later and forget what you where doing in the first place. Any way I think I'm rambling and starting not to make sense, I am tired, anyway just a few random thoughts.
Later
