The End is Nigh

It's 12:30. I'm sitting in my office just waiting for them to tell us we can leave early. They're going to tell us we can leave early, right? I've scheduled my day to include at least a three hour nap this afternoon.

Tonight it's steak dinner and a bottle of wine, and then tomorrow we head off to my parents' for Christmas, then to my mother-in-law's, then home for a day, and then off to Tampa. I don't think there's anything in the world I love as much as taking trips with my husband. He's the best traveling companion, and I really enjoy just being stuck in the car on long drives with him and nothing else to do but talk. This has been a long, hard semester for tons of reasons. It's such a good feeling at the end of the fall semester. I'm done with my class. I've finished up all my work and spent the last week getting things in my office in order. I have no responsibilites at all for 2 weeks. Going to read a book just because I want to, and maybe do some writing.

Aaaaaand, speaking of my class, I got an A! I was going to be satisfied with a B, but I made it! Part of me hopes that I really did well on my final, and that the professor didn't just take pity on my ignorant ass, but another part of me just doesn't care.

Oh! Time to go home! Merry Christmas all!

Finals

Ugh. Finals week. For me, that means double-duty - taking care of my professors' exams, as well as studying for my final on Wednesday. I'm taking Phil of Religion this semester. It's really kicked my ass. I think I'll end up with an A or B in there, which is good considering the level and the fact that it's only my second-ever philosophy class. But, I kinda wish I'd waited to take it until I was a bit more able to take everything in. I'm keeping up, but all semester I had the sneaking suspicion that I was missing some really important stuff.

But, on the plus side, I'm really happy with the class. My goal was just to force myself to think about some of the issues of God and religion that I've had buzzing around my head for the past forever. I'm sort of an intellectual procrastinator. Seems like setting time aside to contemplate things wouldn't be that hard, but apparently it is.

History of Philosophy II is on deck for next semester. I can't wait because I'm totally deficient when it comes to more modern philosophers (as opposed to ancient and medieval philosophers, where I'm just mostly deficient). And, it's only a 200-level class with no papers.

Decimate is here! Buy it now, damnit!

Dude! It's out! So, I'm celebrating by starting a blog. I think I'm going to call it a webjournal or something like that, just so people don't forget how unique I am.

Anyway, you can purchase a copy for your very own here:
