According to Erickson...

As I am back in the full swing of things at University I have been attempting to stuff semi-useless knowledge into my head for the last week. Classes are great and love 90% of them and have been going to the gym too trying to rid myself of the flab that I had planned on getting rid of in the summer but didn't... I am taking Educational Psychology(love it!) and yesterday we were learning about Erickson's theory regarding human beings and their psychological development. Erickson is unlike Freud and as I am not a fan of Freud have decided to buy into his theory of "life stages". It would be boring to go into the stages but what i found humorous and have been thinking about a lot is how I seem to be behind in my life stage progression while, at the same time, light years ahead where I ask the philosophical questions most would only ask themselves on their death bed. Apparently(psychologically) I am living through the 13-18 year old stage as well as the elderly(60 plus) stage simultaneously at my 28 years of age. I will admit I have been called crazy so this really does explain an awful lot...
PS: I find it difficult not to notice the drink in Erickson's hand and the discombobulated look in his eyes;)
