Waking Up

Good morning everyone! Yes, it is still morning as I write this, so long as you don't live in Europe or Asia, although some of you out there apparently do. I'm only here now because my PHIL 150 teacher has jury duty today, and I don't have class. I wonder if I'll have my class later, since I have the same teacher.

Anyways, here I am up in the library again. I found this generally quite place with computers (something I didn't expect) and with a great view. It's nice... I think I'll be up here a lot more in the coming weeks.

Yesterday, I called up the mechanic who worked on my car Monday, and was told that they ran into a few "problems" along the way to repairing it. Long story short, I ended up owing then $637... Over $200 more than the estimate I was given. I had been saving up money from work for the last month... It's gone in one moment. Car troubles really suck.

Ha, and then things got even better.I went over to the financial department here at school after my classes. I need to ask then a few questions about my bill for the spring semester. I'll make this story short too, and say that Charlestown, which owed me $1000 per semester (500 for my 2 years, 500 for the Davis-Lewis scholarship), only gave me first $500 for each the fall and the spring. Yes, they are going to send the extra money, but now mom is mad at me for having to ask her to pull extra money from my trust fund to cover their mistake. That extra money will end up in my savings account (which I need anyway), but mom assumes that I will therefore piddle it away. Either she just doesn't listen, or she doesn't understand.

Well, ok, so my day wasn't ALL bad. I did get to "correct" the logical proof my teacher put on the board. We were talking about determinism, and the author we're reading was trying to prove that moral responsibility and determinism are incompatible. Well... I'll make a separate post about the proof for anyone who's interested... But it would take too long to explain here.

Later, I also got to take my girlfriend out to see "Hitch" last night. I really enjoyed the movie. It was funny, well made, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't inspirational too.


Playing with M&M's was fun too!

So now, here I am, waiting to learn that my second class is also cancelled, so I can go home and then head off to work for the evening. I'll probably catch up on some reading while I have the time, and hopefully we have a busy night at work, because I need the money.

I suppose that's all I have to say I guess. I suppose that's all I have to say I guess...
