I was thinking that Trump's suggestion that Veteran's Day be renamed to just commemorate how we won WWI just doesn't seem as patriotic and also seems like historical revisionism.

I finally started working on improving math skills yesterday on Khan Academy and it was fun. Khan Academy
learning materials are so much more professionally planned and helpful than classroom textbooks.

I've decided to start building qualifications for being a solid candidate to Yale or Princeton since those universities offer the only two fully funded masters degrees for my advancement in the country for everyone admitted with financial need.

I'm really intrigued by the Columbia University
program encouraging social entrepreneurship of sustainable development NGOs but I'm concerned that might not be a practical path since there's limited funding available for that field.

Feeling less overwhelmed by math requirements for a career change now that I see higher levels of college math are unnecessary for entry level work and that I at least have elementary school level math down.

I was watching an EdX lecture discuss how the US lags behind other high income countries in socioeconomic mobility. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the US offers enough opportunity to count as another high income country by not lagging more.

It's amazing to me that community colleges exist across the country that are prestigious enough to help randos develop high qualifications for the best graduate programs in some cases.

I failed to learn math in the past because I failed to do the research needed to learn the underlying rules for why I was not doing things properly and put them in notes. Past teachers, professors, and tutors also failed to explain why it was wrong. I can be self taught.

It seems really unpatriotic of my veteran uncle to insist on being celebrated in his old military uniform picture when he openly admitted to me that he entered military service to brag about it not expecting to take risks or make sacrifices because it was peace time.

Because I have always listened to a lot of Motown hits, I sometimes have flashbacks to this concert I watched of a Yale Motown Acapella group that was touring. That's what made me finally understand why crushes on performers people know nothing about are a thing.

Took a Lyft today because this disabled woman who forgets to shower was making the bus trip intolerable for me and the next bus would be an hour later.

I live in this annoyingly bougie area that makes me feel uncomfortable by reminding me of what it is like to miss out on a better sense of community and the values of down to earth people so I have been wasting time by escaping the neighborhood as much as possible.
