i will be teaching science, despite majoring in and adoring anthropology and fine arts. i am happy for it though, as i would be wasted my young pliable mind teaching something i can't explore with my students on some level, as science has always interested me but not in the way that it was ever taught in school, only in books like Michio Kaku's. plus my nihilistic atheism has fully given way to a science-religion fusion that i can't wait to weave into lessons about the body, the solar system, water and the scientific method. and of course, a bit of knowledge about personality and optimizing socioeconomic roles will be thrown in there too.
my username is a several year old product of banging on my laptop keyboard until it produced something aesthetically pleasing and impossible to pronounce. it's still entertaining to see people struggle against it, but then eventually come around to its allure.
sorry grammar-centric commentary sets me off. but i think i responded to everything i can think to, so far.
i think i am going to enjoy it here.
