"...with the whole world at our feet...."
So... whats new? I dunno.
So I went to Chile, I wrote all about that. That was neat.
So before spring break I met this girl at a party. I was just, totally overwhelmed by her beauty. She was impressed by my beer pong prowess and apparently not turned off by my ability to spill beer on my shirt. Anyway, so we went on a date, and we were kinda on, then kinda off... then we were kind of on again. Then I left for spring break... and when I got back we were totally off. And it almost ended there, but I went to a party she also went to, and we talked... and now we are going out. And its going really good. I'm still overwhelmed by her beauty. She's impressed by my ability to say "menstruation" without stuttering or making a face. Oh yeah, her name is Megan. She's an english lit major, loves books. Aaaaaand she is awesome.
Besides that, just school. School school school. I already turned in a draft for my course on Heidegger, which I got a B on. But I can still revise it and hopefully bump it up to an A. Today and tomorrow I am writing a paper on Native Title in Australia for Problems in Philosophy: Environmental Ethics and Public Policy: The American Wilderness Act. And then I am writing a paper on how media outlets for critique of the dominant institution are entrenched in the culture industry and reaffirm the capitalist system, YET may have positive influence insofar as they can realign a person into a more proper form of existential being and allow them to question stuff. Oh, that paper is for Critical Theory.
After that, going home for 3 weeks (May 15th through June 2nd). THEN I teach (not TA, TEACH) PHIL 2050: Introduction to Logic during Summer I (June 4th through July 6th) and Summer II (July 9th through August 10th). Looking forward to a great summer. Logic will take up about 4 hours a day during the week. Then lots of reading to do. I'm rereading ALL the Harry Potter books. AND I'm reading (finally!) Val Plumwood's "Environmental Culture" and Michael Zimmerman's "Contesting Earth's Future". I also have to read "Man, Beast, and Zombie", its a book on what Science can and cannot say about human nature. I think there are more books I want to read, but I already have so much set out to read. AND I want to pick a Thesis so I can start researching it. And I am hopefully going to be spending a lot of time with Megan.
Besides all that, there are two guys I have to call about potentially playing drums for when I get back from Wisconsin. One is a former student who is looking for a replacement drummer for the summer... instrumental band, kinda weird style. The other is a friend of a friend, met at a bar, who has a more punkish style band.
Right now I just have to write my papers and make it through the next two weeks. Wish me luck!
