What's something cool you've done recently?

You both like psychology.

Stranger: What's something cool you've done recently?

You: Well it's cool to me, I took some circuit boards from a
"bad" bin at work

You: What about you?

Stranger: I did some voluntary work in Africa last year

You: What kind?

Stranger: Taking food to the small desert towns with no cars

Stranger: sacks of potatoes and carrota

Stranger: carrots*

Stranger: helping build small houses from aluminium

You: What organization?

Stranger: none

Stranger: just me and 5 friends

Stranger: mainly in Grafreneit

You: Did the people want those things built?

Stranger: yeah

Stranger: their old ones fell down

Stranger: we only built them because they asked for materials

Stranger: we were mainly just taking the food there

Stranger: because they don't have transport

You: Just one more question about this:

You: how did you know they wanted food?

Stranger: Because I met a girl at a photography club in South Africa and she had some friends who were poets and writers and they helped take medical kits to the towns for snake bites and spider bites

Stranger: I was there for 2 years, so we built a relationship and took potatoes, carrots, and seeds to grow things, over time

Stranger: so what is your "major interest"?

Stranger: and why all the questions??

You: poverty, specifically extreme poverty

You: I was trying to understand if what you did was necessary

You: as some aid organizations/missionaries

You: don't really do anything useful

You: "useful" meaning a lot more than that one word

Stranger: I totally understand that small communities are doing what they've done for thousands of years and they don't need to be introduced to most of todays world

You: That's not what I mean

Stranger: maybe not, but I still don't think that people need to get involved with many particular communities

You: If they're in need of medical supplies and attention, I'd beg to differ (but I think you know that anyway

You: Do you travel often?

Stranger: I do, yes

Stranger: Well, the antidotes for snakes/spiders was the main reason for contact and supply of kits in the first place for that particular situation

You: I'd like to travel a little bit sometime

You: How do you do it?

You: (Through your job or through college?)

Stranger: My parents are hippies haha

]Stranger: I travelled a lot growing up

Stranger: born in South Africa, went to school in Spain, France, UK

Stranger: Canada, Idaho, Montana, China, Brazil

Stranger: have family in a lot of places

Stranger: but I'm very poor haha

Stranger: :/

You: How?

You: Do you work?

Stranger: I can't at the moment..

Stranger: I had some mental health problems and couldn't finish University

Stranger: and I now have debt for studying..

You: that sucks

Stranger: it's cool, I'll find a path somewhere :)

Stranger: maybe in languages

Stranger: anyway, you haven't said anything about yourself

Stranger: ?

You: I'm working in a factory this summer. What are you doing?

You: I'm a student, been so for about 2.5 years

You: electrical engineering is very challenging for me

Stranger: It's good to have a challenge :)

You: I also want to minor in something unrelated to my major

You: psych

Stranger: I studied psychology and sociology in College

Stranger: for work or out of interest?

You: Well, I'm signed up for one class so far--but I know much about it

You: I also need some classes to boost my GPA

Stranger: (Sorry, not entirely sure what GPA is)

You: That's a small reason for wanting to minor in it, but probably the reason I decided to minor in psych

You: grade point average

Stranger: ok

You: 4.0 = A

Stranger: I get A / B etc. not numbers haha

You: 3.0 is B

Stranger: wait you from US?

You: yes =J

Stranger: I did some road trips around the Northern states

Stranger: and up into Canada

Stranger: 'tis a beatiful part of the world

Stranger: :)

You: I live in Wisconsin

You: and not been outside the US

Stranger: that's like 3hrs from Toronto?

Stranger: ish?

You: 10

You: Do you mean Canada?

Stranger: yeah "Tronno" canada

Stranger: I was in Detroit and it was like 3 hrs

Stranger: thought it was about the same distance

You: maybe it would be shorter if taking the ferry across Lake Michigan

Stranger: Hey I gotta feed the foxes

Stranger: They're shouting at me

Stranger: can you gimme 2 mins?

You: Anyway, have you heard about the Stages of Ego Development?

Stranger: can you gimme 1 min?

Stranger: brb soon!

You: I'll give you ∞

Stranger: foxes are chuffed

You: that's a new word for me

Stranger: chuffed?

You: yes

Stranger: lol

Stranger: pleased / persona grata

Stranger: happytown

You: yes, I have an extension where you can highlight a word and it instantly defines it

You: have you heard about the Stages of Ego Development?

Stranger: is it fairly general?

You: The author describes his description as being too general.

You: It is one way

You: psychology and sociology come together

Stranger: Is this a concept or a book etc.?

Stranger: I spent a year with a personal meditation coach and ego coach from Israel and seem to have come across this before

Stranger: It's quite a wide topic

You: It's a theory, if that's what you mean

You: On a tangent, why did you have a personal meditation coach?

You: Are you meaning a coach to be a professor?

Stranger: "Are you meaning a coach to be a professor?"

Stranger: not sure what you mean by that

Stranger: but I've had a few hectic things happen

Stranger: mostly in Africa
