The paper isn't going well (it's on Socrates); I'm hitting major mental blocks and I'm tired.

WAAHH

:hi:

It's just...I'm really worried about this paper because it's so...broad. It's philosophy. Not a poem or something easily analyzed, but a whole goddamn FIELD of thinking compressed to <5 pages.

HAAHAH:banghead:

7. Socrates is kinda a kewl dood
The whole "body being evil" thing is actually interesting...the illusions and shadows of the cave...

Aw crap. This IS a Frosh class but I'm a Junior. And the professor knows that and expects more from me.

I'M A SCIENCE GEEK DAMMIT. THIS SHIT IS WHACK TO ME!!!

8. Oddly enough...
In doing some genealogical research I discovered that I am a descendant of Aaron Burr.

That's my liberal credential. My ancestor shot that dick Alexander Hamilton. :D

17. That awesome!
I think my ancestors betrayed our people to the English. We're banned from the kilt parade, our ancestral lands, and such.
