Who am I?


Ulyana Avetisov

Often I muse over life and little occurrences. I think I might begin writing them here instead of just keeping them in my head or just sharing them with my officemate, Casie. Sometimes my musings may seem trivial but humour me. Come into my thoughts and see where they originated.


In the meantime, check out this web page I WROTE, code and content, almost all by myself for my MIS class this semester:


I'm quite proud of it, simple as it is. We were supposed to talk about ourselves--our hobbies, our interests and goals--and I got all philosophical about it. I couldn't start on this assignment for a long time because, really, who am I? What interests me? Where am I going?

Today I was listening to Nick Carter's interview on Dr. Phil on YouTube

(none of this is a common occurrence for me. I am never on the computer long enough to be tempted to stray tangentially towards YouTube but I was studying for my final tonight and see where it led me?)

and I was struck by the fact that Nick Carter and his siblings--though they are rich--are still shaped and affected by the thoughts and actions of their parents (see my webpage for an explanation on this). Family issues mar children across class lines, across races, across nations. Family issues are everywhere.
