I had finished up my BA in psychology just a month or so earlier. I wanted to go on but I knew I was not ready for the test and that I could not writes long enough papers to write a masters thesis or a dissertation, or even just long term papers. Then an unexpected turn of events changed my path. It seemed bad but turned out to be a learning experience. When my third and youngest was one I got really sick. I would be nearly bed ridden for six months. I went to my mothers to help me with the children. When you are useless and there is not much to do you have lots of time to read. When I had been at Ohio University library I had came across a book on the life of insects. It was fascinating and as I read it I could see a lot of insect behavior that reminded me of some human behavior. In the next six months I must of read hundred books on insect, animal, primitive human behavior, and human behaviors.
But more then that I had taken notes on it and with all my symbols to tell me which facts, sentences, or phrases were what I loved most. But again it was too many facts to keep in mind to organize in a meaningful way to present. What could I do? They say trial and error, mostly error, is the only way to learn if you do not know what to do. So trial and error would be my method. The similarities between insects, animals, and human behavior was so interesting I had the motivation to try and organize it. I just did not know how yet. I would try different things until I found what worked.
