Spring 2013, college, and Jung

The Spring 2013 semester started and it has the effect of keeping my mind busy. I am taking soc 245, psy 239, cti 110, and csc 234; to sociology/psychology classes and two computer related classes. Soc 245 is the sociology of American Drug use and I was invited to take it by the same professor who nominated me for the outstanding student 2012 award. 

I have mixed feelings about that award. I know that I am excellent academically, but my ability to interact in person is severely lacking. Nevertheless, I was proud to be recognized. 

The soc 239 class is the psychology of personality. Jung had some ideas that specifically interest me. He suggested that there are 8 main types of personalities. Half of those personalities are extroverts, the other half are introverts. Obviously I am the introvert. Those two personality traits, according to Jung, are further divided into either sensing, intuiting, feeling, and thinking. Feeling and thinking, he felt, were opposing forces of the psyche.

Jung might find it interesting then, that I experience the extremes of both introverted thinking and introverted feeling. I am both. Perhaps there is an element of truth here about the reasons I constantly feel ripped apart.
