Wow, its been awhile since I've updated.
My Existentialism class started and is really interesting. My teacher is so different from my Intro to Philosophy professor, who was a pastor. He didn't make it widely known but he taught with a certain air of optimism and as though he saw a purpose to life. This guy I have is very different--which is good in some ways as it is giving me a different take on philosophy. Existentialism is in its nature is more realist and tinged with skepticism than some other schools of thought, but I like it and don't see it as negative because, at least from what we've learned so far, its emphasis on having passion for life and a purposeful life and making the most of your existence. Its also all about being introspective, and,well, thats me. So so far,so good.
I have to miss Tuesday's class because of a Christmas planning staff meeting at work. As if after a 10 hour shift I really want to hang around for another hour plus discussing Christmas in mid October. Christmas is serious business at nurseries. Last year it was great fun, but WHY so early?
I want to lose weight. I'm not being shallow...I've just gained so much weight in the past year. I was looking at old photos today while cleaning, and it was depressing. The problem is I looooove sweets, I love chocolate....I eat so much of it. If I could stop that,I'd be okay, but I can't....I don't know what to do. But I dont want to go back to America until I'm thinner.
Anyways,off to bed soon. Monday tommorrow....yecccch. Mondays suck.
