Daoism is Tough Love <3
Great quotes from people in my Daoism class:
"What I like is between 1 and 0 there are infinite numbers, but a finite amount. That's like Daoism in math!"
"Okay, your assignment for this class is to ask once about the Dao of the Triforce."
Yeah, this looks like a blast. We saw a movie about Daoist rituals in Taiwan today, and Rosenlee was writing Chinese on the board and describing the characters and their meaning, and the idea of balance and potential and I was soaking it up. I came back from that class feeling refreshed.
...Except now I have a whole lot to read and write for it. I'm going to have to work for this.
Addendum at 17:39--
We had recess this afternoon, which was fabulous. Chris, Jeff, Christine, and I went out to the green across from Mason and played soccer, in which I got a fabulous set of grass stains on my pants. Then went to the tree by Monroe and climbed it, and Chris got amlost roof level in the thing, and it was funny to see some girls come by and say "The tree is talking!" After that, we played catch over the fountain, standing at the corners, and so it was periodically cathartic to spike the ball in the water in front of someone. Needless to say, because of the impromptu warfare, we all ended up partially soaked. Marvy all around.
The plan tonight is bowling; we'll see how that goes. =)
