Memorandum+2


 * Habits, Neuroses, Talents **
 * I usually have more trouble articulating the object of my study. Although I can be rather detail oriented, I just seem to enjoy the bigger picture and thinking about my object within a wider context and how everything relates.
 * I don’t like to project hope but I can’t help but have multiple projects of interest. Within product design group projects we hop all flippin semester but it’s a lot different when I’m on my own and doing research based work. I think this is because once I make up my mind, I tend not to have any kind of internal debates that might make me loose interest or change directions.
 * I always have context in mind and will not usually get caught up in the details. I like each point I make to have meaning and any tangents should support these points. I prefer to keep noise to a minimum
 * I like to acknowledge counterexamples so nothing is left out or too one-sided but I prefer to argue their points for a common direction if at all possible. I actually am drawn to the deviant because it is a way of spicing things up and I love finding things I didn’t expect to be there.
 * I definitely can’t help but over-impose logics on the world
 * I like to have the whole story before I make any generalizations because many subjects are not black and white but often far more complex.
 * I am not intimidated by different interpretations then my own. I either alter mine if the other is better or weight the different ways of viewing and eventually decide my way makes more sense or I’m just plain wrong
 * I tend to hold strong to my view on an argument unless sufficient evidence presents itself to convince me otherwise.
 * In rare circumstances I do use metaphors to simplify concepts but I mostly hold to examples that “say it all”.
 * I think that when you thought something was one way and it turns out to be something completely different in reality, I understand far better this way because it is easier for me to remember being wrong and learning what is write than not having formed a view and just hearing one and supporting it
