Well, it's been a while since I've been here, but classes have been keeping me rather busy. Here goes, I'm sitting in Moe Joe's, and it's Cece's last day. Over the past semester, the cool currently yellow shirted barista, has become a rather important part of the group, Craig, Melisa, and Khoa making almost daily trips to see her. I can't say much about Cece, unfortunately, since I haven't been as coffee dependent this semester. Adrenaline from stress has replaced that this semester. I guess it's more my loss than anything; she seems like a really interesting person to get to know. Well in thirty-three minutes, she will no longer be an employee of Moe Joe's, and our favorite little coffee shop will become a lot more dull. So for Cece, the barista that has become such an important part of our lives, a moment of silence......................................................................................................

Cece, you will be sorely missed!
Now for the second part of my post, holding back a small sob while doing so. Two nights ago, Lan Chi and I talked like we normally do at night while the rest are gaming away, night chi chatting with Lan Chi is fun. This time our topic of conversation drifted from the normal how was your day to a deeper topic. We somehow got on the topic of the soul where we discussed everything from God to split personality disorder. We came up with a theory of the soul and it is as follows.
We reject the mind is the soul idea. We think that the mind and the body is nothing more than a sensing and processing center for the soul. In other words, the body collects and processes information from the physical world and then passes it on to the soul in the form of electrical disturbances. We also believe that the soul stores memories, but it can't interpret them because the memories are the recordings of an experience. The soul must pass this information on to the mind which recreates the experience and feeds it back the the soul. This explains the reliving of a memory that some people experience and how memory disorders occur when the brain is damaged.
We also believe that there is a form of God; however, it's not a man who sits on a thrown with blinding light emanating from him. We think that God might be an infinite soul which we termed the oversoul from the transcendentalists. We think that individual souls split off from this oversoul and somehow connect to a new human body. When the body dies, the soul returns to the oversoul. If it is at ease with himself, the soul will accept the oversoul and will sense all of the souls around it, but if the soul is not at ease with itself, then it will reject the oversoul and spend eternity in isolation.
We also came up with other ideas, but this post is getting kind of long. I need to collect my thoughts too, so until next time.

I HIGHLY doubt you and Lan Chi think all this in tandem.
