Got my grades for my three classes. Philosophy was good and I wanted to brag about it, but I was disappointed with how I did in English and History. Didn't feel fantastic about philosophy in the long run, either.
I feel I ought not to post my marks, but suffice to say that, according to this chart, I got an As and Bs. Not bad, right? But here's why I don't feel too great about them: I could have done a lot better. If I had done all my readings for English, if I had done all my essays before the very last minute, if I had studied history and philosophy at home to make sure that I understood what was being covered... if I had done these things I would be a lot more proud of myself, and had pretty damn good marks.
I do have a resolution for this new year, and it is not to procrastinate.

Gellin' like Magellan
I had a good moment last night.
I was walking home at 2am and noticed some people in a car were talking shit to me. Usually during these moments I feel scared, embarassed, or angry for any combination of reasons, but this time I really didn't give a fuck. I am crossing a street and several drunk people exclaim that I should hop in, bro, where you goin bro, we're offering you a fuckin ride here, bro. They didn't get out of their car, and I knew that they wouldn't.
I'm sorry boys, I didn't feel intimdated, I just felt superior. Now go on and get kicked out of a commerce lecture for talking, or whatever it is you folk do nowadays.
The only reason this is noteworthy was that I didn't walk away thinking "I must have appeared such a coward," or "why are there people like that in the world." It was nice to know I had the power to refuse them entry into my mind. Epictetus would be proud.

Great
So. Planning on being vegan again. Fantastic. How enjoyable. Who doesn't love the sweet satisfaction of avoiding the bakery, or not getting whatever you want at the coffee shop? Why eat butter, when you can spend 5 minutes reading ingredients every time you buy margarine? Resturaunts are over-rated anyway, with their wonderfully tasting egg dishes. I can't wait to not eat pizza!
THANKS, PHILOSOPHY 133!
