I live with my father by choice; my mother is just a few minutes away, just with a few loose screws in the head. My brother is off at college, my sister is off at boarding school, and one of my dogs is with my mother. My family situation is indescribably, pathetically chaotic. I can’t help but reason my corruption is a product of countless tragic downfalls within my family. Alas, to say I have “a” family wouldn’t feel right, but I love my father to bits. I’m so grateful to have him, my house, my education, etc., and the future always holds opportunity for happiness. 

History interests me, but nothing more than an occasional, yet powerful, investigation. My admiration and fascination for the sciences, or so my theory has it, overpowers most all potential admiration for other fields of academics. My father brought me up with respect to the science field, more profoundly cosmology, and the laws of physics is my ‘bible’. The enlightenment of how everything works—logistics—has molded me into a person who answers each question with logos continuously in mind. Therefore, French bores me, History bores me, English bores me, as they play such small roles in everything that the courses become seductively dismissive and even foolish.
