I have posted several blogs about a job, and I know that you tire from them. This hopefully will be the last about it. I just interviewed for a job for Starbucks in Madison, and I tell you it was so interesting. She asked me many questions on how I would handle some pretty weird situations. Since I used to work with really really picky people, I easily knew the answer.
I think I got it, and it comes with perks. I get 1 lb. of coffee of my choice a week for free. I also get all drinks for free while I work, and I get 30% off when I am just a customer. That is way cool to me. What? I could just sell the coffee for like 5 dollars, but it will just be given to mi padre. HAHA!
On a serious note, this job and the exercises we did in class has caused a good deal of self reflection. I have found the "me" that I had lost over the summer. He is still inside me somewhere. I know I have changed because of school, etc., but this is different. Like someone posted before, anger can control you if you let it. Sometimes I let it and don't know why. That person that I used to be and still am will bloom once again. Hopefull, very very soon.
Thank you and good luck on this curse or blessing to some called our last major paper. I mean I did really well in my AP class, but in here, it is a little different. I believe it is because I have not found my confidence in myself again. Well, good luck.

10. The Universe
An idea was brought to my attention the other day while in chemistry. Bohr's model of the atom is the same as the plot of our solar system. An tiny tiny atom is the same as a gigantic universe, so what am I proposing? I mean that every little atom is just another solar system within our solar system. We, our planets and us, are the same. We are just an atom compared to something much larger. Our planets are just electrons while the sun is the nucleus, so in a neutral atom we would be compared to Flourine.
I like to think of it as a Carbon atom with a -3 charge. As we know Carbon is found everywhere in our planet. What if we are just part of someone else's periodic table just like the carbon we find is part of our's in our chemistry book. We are a world within a world. This theory or rather thought is very interesting if you think about it. It is similar to the Men in Black movie's theory they always propose at the end of the two movies.
In this theory, our "universe" is just one of many that only make a single GIGANTIC universe. If only I had the time to study the nature of carbon and compare it to us. I bet that I would find many similarities from its properties to our universe besides the fact that Carbon makes up a good portion of ours. Oh well, here is another reflective thought from Chance Byas. I hope that you enjoyed just another thought from my endless universal knowledge vortex that I call my brain. The brain knows a lot more than we are able to bring out onto paper. We lack the knowledge to tap into all of its powers.

9. The opened sky
As I sit, I watch the stars in the sky, twinkling as they do. I watch time as it passes us by, and I wonder why. Each day we get older and older. Before we knew it, we were here at MC. Next blink, we will be in another place, another home with some stranger. I often wonder what will happen to me. They say that we must put our faith in God’s hands, but I still wonder what will happen to me. Will I die young or as a really old man. What will I accomplish in this life. The main thought I think is what is it like when we die.
Many question that we all have, and none can truly answer. I watch time flow over and over all of us. I watch it as it ages us to depletion. What if we did not believe in time? Wouldn’t that let us live longer here on earth? Who knows. The mind is very powerful indeed.
I often wonder about life. About time. About the world. In the end, aren’t we all alone. While I sit outside by the fire under the stars, my stars. I feel rather alone. Like an ant in an ant farm. Just here to be observed by some other thing. Except that I know God is always with me. Besides that, have you ever thought about how significant a person really is compared to the world. We may not mount up to much. It is not who we are but the decisions we make that define us as people.
