Staying home today to write a paper. It's supposed to be 8-10 pages on Aquinas. I'm going to tackle the idea of "the cause of evil". Chapter 49 of the Summa Theologica if any of you care to read up on your medieval philosophy. It's good stuff really, and interesting. it's just hard to write papers on Aquinas because of his format: objections to point, the main point, then replies to objections. So you kinda have to read it over and over again and in mixed up order. But that's what makes it fun I suppose. 
The important thing is that I'm not at school today. (Unlike the last 30 some odd days.) So the change of scenery is a god thing for me. i probably won't get very far on the paper. But I want to get at least a draft of about pages out today. then I can tack on the other 2-3 pages over the weekend. That should be easy enough.
Had one of those dreams last night where it really feels like there is someone warm and comfortable next to you but there isn't at all when you wake up. usually those put me in a sour mood all day but for some reason today I woke up and wasn't to concerned about that. I was just kinda feeling okay about it. It's not often that I wake up in a contented and happy place. Usually it's a stressed and hurried state, so it was nice. (Not to imply that I'm not still stressed out
)
Oh! Gotta go cycle the laundry. * turns on journal musak * (Feel free to hum along and dance a little)
Back. So, how was the musak? Once I was in a hotel elevator and the musak was Nirvana's smells like teen spirit. It totally tripped me out. Speaking of which, my friend and I were discussing how I'm always tripping myself out and that i really should stop thinking so much. The other day I was trying to fathom the intellectual genius that it would take to figure out that the earth was round if we didn't have all of todays modern technology. It's mind boggling really.
Anyway, feeling kinda good today. Still wishing I wasn't siting at home alone working on a paper on my day off but the rest of the world is still busy so I'll just take advantage of the quiet time. I won't get much done once the folks get home from work. So I really shouldn't be procrastinating quit so much on SG. Chuckle.
