Right now in class we are reading the book Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. In this book each chapter refers to time and how time can affect our lives and change our lives. It's interesting to read these chapters and apply the same concepts to my life. There are many different concepts about time that are represented in ways that normal people would not ponder in everyday life; things that are present but go unnoticed. Such as the concept time is a circle. This concept implies that time runs on a cycle and that there are no "firsts" and "lasts" in life, everything repeats itself later in life.
This concept of time being a circle, is found in my life everyday. One example is my daily routine. I tend to stick to the same routine day by day, repeating the same places I go, people I sea and activities I do. My life is like a circle with the cycle of time being the gears that move it. The circle changes as I get older and change schedules but the circle is always there. Time is always there.

Metacognition: First Semester
During this first semester of humanities I not only matured as a writer, I developed a new way of thinking for my self and how I view the world around me. Philosophy is also another concept that I discovered deeply for the first time first semester. Philosophy is something that has impacted me greatly with how I think and process the world and people around me.
Another part of semester one that changed me was the 21st century human project. We have not finished it yet but the process I have gone through to brainstorm and start creating the sculpture has provoked my senses and mind to start thinking about what a 21st century human is. Am I the 21st century human? This is a question I will be able to answer at the end of this project but for now I am still looking for the answer.
First semester has ultimately opened my mind up to new experiences, ideas and thoughts that I have not considered or experienced before. I have learned to be a better listener and realize that my thoughts are not the only ones out there. I hope second semester changes me as much as first semester has.
