(no subject)
I really need to get around to posting about what's going on with Joel and I, but I'm holding my breath with that issue right now. There's just so much to deal with that I'd like to give it a little bit of time before I write down my feelings about it. I'm trying to be rational and thoughtful and all.
I've been doing quite well with getting to my ungodly early classes so far, despite construction traffic that affects about half my commute. Even when I'm a bit short on sleep, I'm managing to get up and go, which is an accomplishment for me! Despite that, today I was dragging so bad. I just did not want to get up, and even after a shower I just wanted to lay back down. I wasn't overly tired, just all Do Not Want about today. Ugh. Even now, with only two hours left, I had to force myself to come to class. Third week of class and I'm already READY for the weekend. lol
I have to say, it doesn't help that my Phil. class is a complete snooze feat, and that from someone who actually likes philosophy. The teacher has his head crammed rather far up his ass, if I do say so myself. This is the sixth class meeting, and he's canceled two, let us out after 20 minutes the first day, was 15 minutes late one day, 10 another, and managed and actually showed up on time today. On top of that, he speaks in a monotone, and literally says "umm" every three words. How exactly does a person such as this teach college classes? I do not know, but I feel like he's wasting my money. Mall, he made us buy three books that we don't even use. I'd like to poke him in the eye with a stick.
On a good note, I did get to each lunch here at the grill for the first time. I had a coupon that was going to expire tomorrow so I went and had lunch in the hopes that some food would wake me up. Alas, it did not, but at least it was yummy. I had a chicken bacon ranch panini, a side salad, and a drink for just over $3, so, not bad! I was surprised at the quality food. Way better then any other college campus food I've had. lol
Ugh, on top of Mr. Monotone "Umm" professor, the cheerleader types in the back won't stfu, so their continuous whisper crap is underlying everything. The kid in front of me is on his laptop browsing facebook, i se at least four others on their phones, and I'm obviously not paying 100% attention. Ugh, kids. lol Yes, I am indeed old. And crotchety.
Also, we're talking about Descartes and my contrary comment that no matter what we assert as a true statement, that there is a chance that we are wrong, because as the statement increases in complexity, the higher chance there is that we do not know all the facts, and therefore our statements are based only on our perceptions and self knowledge - to assume that we are correct even most of the time is ignorant - yeah, that just went over everyone's head. Even the professor argued with me, and said that information we gather with our senses are bedrock true all the time. I said that it's still based on perception in conjunction with knowledge - if you see a stick in the water with your eyes, it looks bent. If you do not know about or understand refraction of light through water, you assume that the stick IS bent, and you are wrong. Is it bad to be wrong? No. But, as I said, to assume that you are right just because that is all you know is ignorant, there may be other information or understanding that you do not have. He's now brushed that off and moved on... lol
Lots to do this weekend, but all I want to do is go home and sleep. If I can just make it through the last bit of the day...
