10:47 A.M. Sitting in a private study room in Anchutz feeling drop dead tired. I might need to prop open my eyelids with wooden splinters soon. I can't figure out a reason either. I slept about 7 hours last night, but I suppose when you get used to 9 hours of sleep per night, losing those two hours will really do a number on you.
The Superbowl last night was interesting to say the least. The game itself actually came down to the wire with the Packers winning by just 6 points. The Steelers have been a dominant team over the past 6 years, so it was good to see the Packers pull out a victory. For the most part, the advertisements were garbage, but I saw a few that stuck with me. The one with Eminem promoting Chrysler and the town of Detroit was great. I admire how Eminem never forgets his roots. I must work on never forgetting where I come from.
I've been working on putting together a book of all my past blog entries on Facebook. I currently have all the notes compiled into a single word document. The next step is figuring out which place has the lowest binding costs. I'll let you know more when I finally get around to finding a binder.
Classes will keep my busy the next few days, but I've written a good selection of posts ahead of time. My hope is that moving to a blog will be beneficial to everyone. Since the move from Facebook, I've noticed a severe drop off in the number of comments people are making. Now that I've finally worked out all the nuts and bolts of operating a blog, I can focus on attracting traffic here. With a URL like "joe-renaissanceman.blogspot.com", attracting traffic will be difficult. Too bad nothing more simple was available for use.
The University Daily Kansan ran a short article this morning about how college students are not prepared for the workforce once they graduate from college. I have this theory about college. You get out of it what you put into it. Cliche? Yes, but definitely true. If you are very smart, you can get mostly A's without even studying, but you won't get valuable skills. College isn't so much about what to think as it is how to think. In our world, we get so caught up with the "whats, wheres, whos, and whens" that we forget about the "hows and the whys". Like fine wine, critical thinking takes years to fully understand and apply. Thinking critically is what will get you hired and promoted, not raw knowledge.
Have a safe, productive week and stay warm!
Thanks for reading this,
Joe
