So close.

And yet so far.


I'm almost done with my summer classes :) I'm not really sure if everyone knew about those, but I took 3 this semester. Which is actually quite a lot for summer. I have Intro to Ethics, Language Logic and Persuasion, (both on Mon/Wed) and Abnormal Psychology (Tues/Thurs).


My MW classes are way easy. I love them. Ethics is really interesting and it mostly involves reading a couple pieces about a hot topic and writing a paper on them. It's a super interesting class, and I think my favorite topic we've discussed was euthanasia. I'm not going to go into details here because it would make my post far too long, but if anyone wants to talk about/debate it with me, I'm more than happy to. Logic is a really interesting class too. A lot of people think that it's not very logical, but it makes perfect sense to me. (For instance, this statement is true: If pigs can fly, then Denver is in Mexico. And that's not something that makes sense to a lot of people, apparently.)

Ab psych is pretty cool, too, but it's very involved. I watched the movie Shine and wrote a case analysis for it, and then I did 10 service hours at CHARG and am writing a paper for that. It's a lot of reading (at least 2 chapters a week) but it's really interesting.

the point of all this, though, is that finals are Wed and Thurs!
It's been a lot of fun, but I'm glad it's almost over.

If pigs can fly... :)

That makes perfect sense to me, too.

I'd be interested in discussing your ethics class next time I'm around. I'd like to hear what the class had to say about euthanasia.

It makes sense to me, and I'm blond. Good luck on the finals!
Oh, and if I'm looking for a sign about a job, and my word verification is incomett....

Jason- In case you were curious. The case analysis that I hadn't finished when I babysat for you? I got an A. 90%

Chaelomen- I know MJ said she was coming down with the boys on Monday. If that includes you, too, I'll be here. If you're staying up to study, though, then I'll be here for most of August, so whenever.

MJ- Looks like you're going to have to find a good paying job if you wanted to quit where you're at now. :)

Nice! Glad the storm didn't completely obstruct your studies. :)
