Spoke with advisor today at my 4 year, and it turns out if i want to graduate with B.A. in my major i could be done with only 2 more semesters. This is my first semester at this school, i spent 4 years off and on at Junior college before getting enough classes done to transfer here.
Catch is i don't have a minor currently at least i haven't declared one. The idea of only spending 3 semesters here to finish sounds really nice, but i'm not sure if it is the best option.
Should i spend the extra semester declare a minor in what i was planning on doing, or does having a minor attached to the degree not really matter? advice from college graduates is greatly appreciated, or obviously people in a position of hiring college graduates as well

I wrote a new blog explaining some history and rules of the upcoming kickboxing match between me and Elky. This might be nice information for people following it, as well as useful information for people wanting to bet on it. If you like Elky's side shoot me a pm and we can discuss details.
Okay guys, time for some brain foodby Mariuslol, November 14
Hey
I often just assume the stuff I'm into most other people are too, but that's not always the case. So tonight I felt like sharing.
There are many hidden gems all over the internet, I will talk about one of those gems, for those who's already indulged, appreciated this particular gem, do not fret. I put up the best of the best, and this shit you can re-watch indefinitely.
To make it cooler and more relaxing, I put up a description to each clip, what it's about, details and some other stuff like that.
Drive
The Truth about what really motivates us, most people think (and rightly so). The more money, the more motivation. Nuu UHHH!! Not the case, only if the task involves mechanical skills (Platinum/Gold and lower maybe).
Once you get above rudimentary cognitive skill, everything turns upside down. And I know a lot of passionate Starcraft gamers can attest to that, AMEN. (Ps, I'm not religious, hate that noob shit). + Show Spoiler +
Changing The Paradigms Of Education
This one is a lot more awesome than what it might sound like by the tittle. It's one of the most wonderful speeches I've ever heard about learning, growth and people's potential and more awesome stuff along those lines.
The speaker is Ken Robinson, which probably a lot of you already heard or know about from TEDTalks, but in this speech you get the essence in much more detail, and it's not added stuff to make it more entertaining as "a show". (Sex for your left hemisphere so to speak). <--- I just made that one up on the fly, yay + Show Spoiler +
The Secret Power Of Time
Talks about the 6 main time zones that people live in, 2 focus on the past, 2 focus on the present and 2 focus on the future. It also seems like, if you live around the equator, people are mostly focused on Present.
In in these categories, we have people who mainly focus on the positive (the good old times, nostalgia, so forth). And the other kind seem to focus a lot on regrets, failures and shit like that. Past positives and past negatives. And the same for the other categories. + Show Spoiler +
Empathic Civilisation
It doesn't get much more awesome than this. It seems like all the primates, especially the humans, we got mirror neurons. We're soft wired, so if I am observing you, I can feel the same as you're doing, the neurons in my head is lighting up at the same place as your neurons.
We are actually not soft wired for aggression, violence, self-interest, utilitarianism and shit like that which some poop heads have been feeding us. + Show Spoiler +
The Divided Brain
This is my favorite, I feel that most of what's being said is awesome. But I don't get half of it, if there's going to be any discussion about these, please talk about this one. I'd love to broaden my understanding of this.
New, fresh, cool information of the brain, discrediting a lot of what we "used" to think and know about it. Things that now has been proved is entirely false.
It's not true that one part of the brain does reason, and the other does emotion. Both are profoundly involved in both. Not true that language resides only in the left hemisphere, it doesn't, a lot of important aspects are in the right. It's not true that visual imagery is only in the right hemisphere, lots is in the left. + Show Spoiler +
21st Century Enlightenment
We're very very bad at predicting what will make us happy. We're even worse at describing what made us happy in the past. And stuff like "It's only by understanding that conscious thought is only part of what drives our behavior..... That we become better able to exercise control & distinguish our needs from our appetites..... And our amazing human potential from the hubris of individualism.
It's no wonder I find this one awesome as well. + Show Spoiler +
Are you one of those guys that goes to the club and chills with their drank, or do you go full animal and just dance all night? Are you somewhere in between?
Why?
Do you dance at home for laughs? Stress relief?
I am the guy that hits the club in order to dance 'til I drop. I don't really practice -- and I ain't that good, but not only is it fun for me, I like to entertain people; if people are laughing with you or at you is all about your mindset. Plus, I know there are others out there who just like to see people having fun and I know I'm bringing them some pleasure.
I like to promote expression and entertaining people. Soon I may post a video of myself dancing in order to fulfill both of those objectives. My biggest wish is for it to be socially acceptable to break out in dance or song in public places rofl Baby steps..
Hi everyone! This is a real Dustyblog. Including a graph, some random philosoraptoring and written while I can hardly keep my eyes open. Damn christmas decoration that I'm not used to make me wake up at 6.30 and since our coffee maker sounds like a god damn earth quake I figured I'd wait with that until 9 or something. Spent the weekend up at my mom and dad's place with my girl and one of our cats. I went hunting moose with my dad on Saturday, the guy is in ridiculous shape for a guy almost 60. I'm not in great shape by any means but I'm very used to walking long distances fast since that pretty much the only way I can de-tilt myself fast and trying to keep up with him and a dog for 15 km in a forest with some hefty altitude changes messed a ton with my legs. During the worst part (walking up an area called "storberget", roughly translated to "The big mountain") my lungs felt like they used to do when I rolled with a guy called Jimmy, probably like 205-210lbs of knee on belly specialist with an purple belt, in the end of a long workout. The fun thing was that one of dads friends from work, who is very into Taekwondo kept urging my to bring water because "your dad walks really fast". I think it has a lot to do with the fact that people not used to walk around in forests seems to get tired where fast even if they have good conditioning to begin with since it's really hard to get used to the weird surface and such. Must like people not used to rolling seems to get tired very fast in BJJ. Same principle, you'll have to learn not to tighten up muscles more the you have too.
It's also super fun to see how much mom and dad likes our cat:
I think my mother wants grand children but decided to settle for hanging out with a cat for the weekend for now. Damn cat is fairly stupid so we did not want to let him out and run around outside on the off chance that he'd find a rabbit to chase and get lost so far from home and it took like a day before he started fucking with all the plants to the point that I felt fairly embarrased, but when I suggested to my mother that we shouldn't let the damn cat eat all her plants she almost got angry and told me to "let the cat play! he's having fun!". Dad went and found an old skin of a Pine Marten to let the cat play with and that was fairly entertaining too. My grandma is in the hospital but it's noting serious, just old age and fragile bones, and I got to visit her yesterday. She seemed in good spirits. It's weird seeing her get old though, my grandfathers and dad's mom all died 15+ years ago but my grandmother on my mother's side never really even seemed to get old and she's past 80 now. Her mom got to be 99 and looked a lot like a white Yoda in the end so I guess those genes are good.
I really really like me parents and I know they really really like me. What more can you ask for?
Obviously I couldn't keep to playing just 1/2 so most of that is higher so it's a fair bit of money so far this month.
Overall I should really be happy, and to some degree. I'm almost done with my law degree, I'm finally making some money again and I feel like I've figured out lower mid stakes omaha again the last 40 or 50k hands. At least a little bit. Life's starting to take a turn for the better and all I need now might be to get some rest. I've been working really hard on my essay, some stuff for the Swedish libertarian party and poker combined for a while. I'll get a week now with a little bit less to do, then I'll go play the Swedish Championsships and Unibet Open in Riga and I guess I'll try to finish most my thesis while there and then be done with it in time before Christmas. I want that rest. I want to relax. No "have to"s, no drama and no annoying time limits. That's what I want for a while.
Great movie! I give it a 9/10. Entertaining action, unique direction, beautiful to watch. Plot got kinda weird at some points and the Titans could have been more bad ass. I watched this movie in 3D, and I'm actually glad I watched this one in 3D.
Don't watch "In Time" though, movie got more and more retarded as it went on.
