Well it has been years since I've written but I thought it prudent seeing as there were several people that I gave the information out to. What have I been doing? I've been in school...for anthropology, psychology, and statistics. I still have years left before my education is complete. Well, at least my formal education, I'll never stop learning. I'll never stop tutoring and teaching now that I know I have something that is of use to teach. Well, art was always worth teaching, however it is not something that I was formally taught, I was practice trained. My art is about how it feels to see something, taste something or smell it. A description without words that can transcend languages and convey a meaning, not necessarily mine, but a meaning nonetheless. Now I am asked to be creative in a different way, one I never thought I'd get to do. I get to be a scientist! Something I've always wanted and never thought I'd get to do...now here I am emerging in the data science field as someone that wants to mathematically predict psychotic episodes. I am ecstatic and scared all at the same time. I am beyond the reach of the mundane while I am mired in it. It's a strangely freeing experience.
School. I never though of it as a transformative experience, except to transform someone into a bullied neurotic that can't leave the house. But my school experience when I was young was less than stellar...on the schools part not mine. learning has always been fun, but the experience of school was most definitely not. I had teachers tell me that I just couldn't get it and I needed to go sit down. It was not nurturing nor existentially transformative. Now however, now is a different story. I don't know if I just don't have anybody who knows me or if I'm just in a better place for schools, but the experience is wholly different. This time it is freeing and transformative, as well as reaffirming and fun. I feel, with tentative hope, that I will be allowed to help others. To assist in the learning of others and predict the unpredictable. Well, that's it for this entry. Comment on what you want to know and I'll write it. Well, within reason. art, anthropology, psychology or stats based questions taken.
