About me

     My name is Scott Sandridge, there are many things that interest me. I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and Seattle, Washington. One of my desires in life is to learn and experience a plethora of different things and to constantly try to push the limits of what I am capable of. Some of the things I am currently interested in include economics, which is the focus of my study here in Missoula, as well as history, which is more of a hobby for me. Those are also some of the things in which I believe I have a decent amount of knowledge about, although I am by no means any kind of expert and still have much more to learn. 
     As I mentioned earlier my Major in college is economics, but that of course doe not fully explain the purpose for my existence here. My primary goal in college is to get a solid foundation in both economics as well as the Chinese language. I feel that using these two things in combination will give me an advantage in the job market when I graduate in a few years. Previously I desired to major in History, but with the current economy,  I feel like a History degree would not be a worthy investment of my time.  
     The only reason that I write is when I have some kind of obligation to. Rarely do I sit down and write anything for pleasure. Unless I have an obligation to write, you will be unlikely to see me writing. In the past some of the issues that arose with my writing was that I would get hung up on minor details that I felt were not perfect and tend to miss the big picture. Instead of just pushing forward to improve the overall product, minute details would consume me and ultimately degrade the quality of the final product. I am not sure what the ideal place for me to write would be, I almost always write at my desk at home (wherever that is). Perhaps I could explore other places to determine whether changing my writing environment could have the potential to improve my writing.
