I made the word count on my Pragmatism term paper. I feel fairly proud of it. I need to do a bit of revising still, but that can wait until Sunday since it's due on Monday. I felt like I wandered a bit in the middle of the paper, but in the end it all fit together under a single project, so I would say...

Since classes do not meet anymore, and I have a good start on my work, we decided to run some errands today. First on the list, Tara needed art supplies, so we went to the art store. Mission accomplished.
Second on the list: real doughnuts, good doughnuts, doughnuts which could appease the cravings of the most ravenous beast. Only...

This entry made me giggle. Such wonderful doughnut poetry!

No, you're right...Same issue...
Classes have finished (finally), so I can now get down to the real end of term work. I've taken it easy all week, but I did get a little done on one paper yesterday. After I got home, I read through both papers and formed plans of action for where I need to go next. I still have a good bit to do, but I...

I got my Pragmatism term paper up to 2k words today, then I decided to chill for the rest of the evening. I want to get started on my epistemology term paper soon. I just wish I had more feedback from the prof than the vague "green light." I'll get it soon enough, but I think I can get started now.
I am way too...

Dorian Gray is one of the best. The more I learn about the world, the more that book seems to have come from a whole different perspective.
And yeah, it is illogical, hence the quandry....I want life as much as its opposite, and it creates this giant tug of war in my mind...both sides are balanced sometimes, unbalanced others, yet never enough that one sides triumphs.

It's been foggy here for three days. As in, fog has not lifted, morning to night, since Saturday. I find it pretty fucked up.

thank you for the birthday wishes. they make me smile!

Maybe.
Today I stayed in and worked. I graded half of my moppets' exams, and wrote the first few pages of one my term papers. I didn't work on my personal statement, and I might not get the chance to this weekend. My prof wants the exams on Wednesday, which means I have to make the other half tomorrow since I won't have time on Monday...

I wrote a draft of my term paper proposal today. I don't like it as much as I liked the first draft of my pragmatism term paper proposal, but that's like saying I like my three year old cat more than my one year old cat. I just can't compare my children like that. I have until Wednesday to work on it, so I have...

Don't you just hate it when you can't quite produce the same level of genious in your second paper as in your first? That happens to me all the time. 
I am jealous that you have substances to make you high. We have run out (actually we ran out a while ago) and I am starting to *really* fucking miss it.
Fuckin' A to slack lifestyle in which your biggest activity is deciding whether to yet another trip to the kitchen is in order.

I just can't wait to run into him and act all nonchalant (because I really will be). Heh...Guys like that get all weirded out by women who aren't swayed by the stupid shit they do.

The I Ching recommended meditation in order to break through my earlier blockage. I followed this advice, and felt a good bit better. I managed to get some work done, although not a draft of the proposal yet. I think I will do that tomorrow, and send whatever I've got to the professor. I need to review my past notes in order to get something...

There is nothing like indulging in the sweet, sweet delights of one's own personal favorite treat.
Cheesecake does it for me. I get so happy when I eat it, I hum and dance a little bit after every bite.
I think I'll go get some.

Today, Canadians observe "Rememberance Day" meaning first and foremost that I don't have to go to campus. I don't like patriotic or war-glorifying holidays, but I'll take my days off when I can get them. However, I refuse to wear one of those stupid poppies.

I did the reading I decided I had to do today. Then I dipped into my term paper reading and read two things that I won't use. I know what I plan to read next for my term paper, but I will not read it now. I have about a half-hour to kill before catching my bus so that I supervise the lab exams for...

I had a productive day. I read three articles, meaning that I did the minimum reading for the coming week and I started reading for my Epistemology of Testimony term paper. I still don't have a very specific direction for that one, but I feel a bias towards reductionism about testimony, and I have a good deal of skepticism for models which presuppose truth-telling in...

Today I went to a lecture on the Pragmatism of John Dewey as a way to understand Confucian thought in opening up a dialogue between North America and China. I found the talk a bit light on Dewey and a bit heavy on Confucius, but since I know some Dewey, I could see his point. He simply did not...
