Multitasking At least that's what I believe what about you?
Hmm I am good at watching someone do somthing and being able to do it as well
That's a sweet ability visual learner
Definitely Its makes it pretty easy to learn new things
Especially technical things like math
Oh yes Though it does plateau, the learning curve only goes so far then I have to put in more effort
I know And if you use talent and effort, you're more successful.
Its just keeping up the effort to put in the work
I read a book called Mindset, the author talks about a little bit of that. The fixed mindset which is the one that believes in talent and that people are born with some talent and they can't change. And there's the growth mindset which is the one that believe you can always improve and learn new things.
Sub conscious awareness is incredible what it can accomplish
true How is your day going today?
Its been pretty good, I did some new job training. So far it has been fun
Awesome. Any fun plans for the rest of the day?
Haha no Im too tired And we are heading out of town tomrrow
Cool, where are you going?
I am heading up to Virginia to see the BYU ballroom tour team And to see my aunt
That's cool, my friend is going there for her internship in August.
Oh that is cool What is the internship for?
She just graduated in Dietetics, and with that major you need a internship after college before becoming a certified dietitian. So she is going to the university of Virginia to do it.
Way neat! Are yall close?
Well, we've been roommates for 2 years now.
Oh. SO really close I was going to room with my roommate again but he decided he wanted to get married
Hahahah That happens a lot at BYU I need to find nice roommates for next year
I am just going off randomness and hoping for the best
Me too, but I had bad experiences in the past.
I have had some extreme bad ones, so its hard to match that So I am pretty mellow with this all
Cool I had all kinds of experiences. People with low level of cleanliness,  people who don't have a routine, so they sleep until 1pm and are up all night going in and out of the room, people who have friends over almost 24/7. People who don't sleep in the apartment at all, people who don't respect the housing rules, all of that stuff.
Oh yeah,a ll of those too I had one that ended up throwing stuff at me I am not a controversial person And pretty mellow I gave up on that one
I had one this semester calling me names
Ugh That is so frustrating
I was watching the general conference and I closed the blinds because I couldn't see the tv really well, so I also turn on the lights because I was taking notes. then I was taking a shower in between sessions when I came back the blinds were open and the lights were on I put it back in the way I left and she started yelling her family is not very structured and she doesn't have any money, so she was trying to save the 5 dollars she had to pay for eletricity
I understand people have preferences that differ but its so much easier when people actually talk to work things out Yelling doesnt accomplish anything
so she called me names and said I should go back to my country then I said it wasn't my fault that she was poor, but she called other names and left Then I just ignored her for the rest of the semester.
That wasnt nice. I am sorry that happened to you
Thanks, that's water under the bridge let's just hope we don't have any of those as roommates
Yeah Hopefully it turns out well for you
Yeah
What is your favorite season
Fall not too hot, not too cold and it's pretty
I love all the colors that come in fall It is a pretty season
Is that your favorite?
I think I appreciate all the seasons for different reasons
Especially in Utah, they are so defined I'll be back in a sec
Okay!
I'm back
Hello
I love to see the seasons changing on campus
Yeah it is really pretty I loved that spring came with graduation
Yes, that day was hot
Haha I loved it I like the warm
Me too, I just think about the graduates in their robes
Oh yeah, that would be a little ruff But It wasnt me so I enjoyed it And At least it wasnt snowing
Hahaha me too
It was crazy that it snowed just the other day
right? snow one day, super warn next day
it is crazy
It's Utah haha
This is true I think just about anywhere has crazy weather
True In Sao Paulo I would leave every morning on my mission prepared for the 4 seasons
Hahahaha What all would that entail?
Umbrella coat sunscreen
That is impressive I try to get by with as little as I possibly can
Me too, but on a mission you don't go back home until the end of the night so you have to be prepared
That is true Especially when on foot or bike Its a little easier with a car. You can just keep what you need in there
No cars in Brazil, so was everything in my backpack
I only had to do that for about a year Then the other year I had a car
That is so cool
It was really helpful
I believe you We also don't use iPads there
Oh Those were helpful too I still use mine
Before they started that I was always saying on my mission that it would be great if the area book, planners and those things were on the phone or a tablet.
You were ahead of your time
hahah
How do you think in general they will improve technology in the future Like phones and tablets and laptops and such
I hope they become small again
really? I love having the big screens It isnt always convenient for pockets though
yeah, but big cellphones don't fit pockets
So I hope they make foldable phones or something that can enlarge
especially for women
That is understandable If women even have pockets Cause that is always an issue
yes, we don't usually have pockets But I think they will become faster and more intelligent
I think dresses with pockets are so cool
With the predictions and suggestions, and with the integration between devices. Me too I wish there were more of those
Those would all be great improvements
But the tech industry needs to improve their privacy agreements and other issues like that.
Oh yes for sure That is going to be such a big issue They need to do better about protecting individual informations
yes especially because they are gathering more and more data every day They are becoming more intrusive haha but they kind of don't have control over their own things
Yeah it is insane how much is exposed The other day my phone told me that I needed to pay rent and I was confused because I am not renting right now So I clicked on it and it took me to an old email It only had an attachment to a lease And so apparently it read the lease and found that information because I didnt tell it to do that
Interesting
It was kinda scary
Yeah
It also told me I had a flight And that was true
I don't like when you log in on facebook in your browser and it doesn't log out if you close the tab
Oh yeah it shouldnt do that
then when you go to a different website you're logged in on facebook
Yeah thats dumb
Facebook is trying to control the world hahah
I could believe that They should make a movie about it
right, and when they have some company threatening their business they buy it they bought instagram whatsApp they tried to buy snapchat
Yeah then they just copy it Major businesses are kinda scary But I do like instagram I generally like what they provide and ignore consequences Probably not a good life ethic
They do the same things for all of them the story feature
Yeah You can basically use any app and get the same things out of it
Ye Yes I thought the government had a policy against monopolies like that
Isnt there an ammendment about anti trust laws and such I think that is what its about
I see Sometimes I feel really sad that there are many companies and money out there that are enough to do great things and change the world but instead they are competing on who has the best photo filters and they copy each other and buy each other
Yeah so much more good can be accomplished
meanwhile, projects that can make a difference in people's lives aren't funded enough
It should really be flipped around
I agree
What is the first thing you would do to improve the world if you had the power and money to do so?
Probably change the prison system I don't like how we pay for their expenses
What would you like to change about it?
I would change it in a way that they would have to work make workshops where they could build chairs and desks for schools they could also make notebooks and these kind of things By doing that the government wouldn't have to buy those things from other companies, and the prisoners would get paid
That sounds like it would be a good system
and provide for their own things I keep thinking of that because you see how much money they put in jails, and when they have fights inside and all of them, they destroy their own cells and HR people do everything to give them their rights by buying the things they break I think it's unfair
Yeah that makes sense A lot of systems could be improved
I agree. And then I would change education teachers are not paid well, students are not getting the education they need for real life
How do you feel about common core?
I don't know a lot about it. I didn't go to school here. I think it varies from state to state right?
Oh that is right No the idea is that its standard  throughout the country
Okay but is the quality the same?
It technically should be There are a lot of issues with it though It brings down schools that were more advanced so that there can be a standard
That's bad They should invest on the others to put them at the same level
Yeah I dont think they should ever bring students down
I was just wondering because I know that in certain areas is harder because of the minorities and dangerous neighborhoods So schools are just not good there
I am sure practically it isnt the same That is really hard to achieve But they claim it to be so
I think if they offered better pay, and were more picky with the quality of the professionals they hire they could improve a lot.
I agree
I had some teachers that didn't care, they would sit there and do the bare minimum.
That is the worst! I was really blessed to have good teachers for the most part and be in a good program They were always really supportive and wanted us to do well
That's good I had some of those
They make the world a difference I love them I try to keep in touch with those tachers
Some of mine are my friends on facebook we talk sometimes
That is awesome I try to go back and visit them when I am in town in class
Mine are far away
That is valid Facebook is really helpful for that
Yes
It does make some things too convenient Like some people I would rather not keep up with
Haha we all have those
Hahah yeah Do you have any funny stories about people you want to avoid
Well, there's the one I told you about my roommate I need to think if I have others I have one, but I don't avoid the person we are actually friends
How does that work out
So I have this friend, his name is Marcos, we were in 4th grade he was putting wide out on girls hair then I told him that if he did it on mine I would punch him then he did it, and I punched his nose he started bleeding and ran from our classroom the teacher wasn't there, so he slipped away and went home he came back next day and told me that I almost broke his nose but we're still friends to the present day
Hahah that is a great friend story Its good that it worked out in the end
Yeah every time we talk about it  we laugh a lot
I would laugh too That is a funny way to make a friend
We were friends before that, we just continue to be friends Now it's your turn
I have a funny avoiding story
Tell me
So it was at a dance, I was trying to be nice and asked someone who was standing on the side Mistake She asked me every other dance every other song after that to dance She found all my social media and got my number and just kept texting me She would talk to her self like I wouldnt reply and she would just keep texting like I did And I ended up blocking her on all the things Well flash forward 4 years I hadnt heard from her Then she makes a new account and follows me again And I believe people can change so I was tyring to be nice And she ended up in the same class as me Well she moves in the middle of lecture and sits by me Then I notice that she is looking at me in the reflection of her phone And then she starts taking pictures of me I AM SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HER Someone eventually comes up and talks to her so she turns her head the other way, I bolted out the door and didnt look back
Hahaha That's so funny
Yeah I avoid her again she used up all her chances
Hahaha Keep avoiding That's creepy
You dont have to tell me twice
Next time (if there's a next time, I hope it doesn't) you should talk about going to the police
That might be a good idea
