the sun, the divided line, the cave, blah blah blah

Not that I dislike Plato. He is a cool guy--very interesting and suave. But I am tired of reading The Republic right now. Too bad I still have 15 pages to read tonight!

Oh well. Today is October 10th, and it is also the mark of ten days until I go to Portland! I know I have already communicated this to John multiple times, but HURRAH!

I am now a declared English major and Linguistics concentrator. :)

This LJ is increasingly filled with inane babble and list-y things that do not reflect well upon my ability to reflect. Perhaps it's because I've been so busy lately that I don't have time for much hardcore reflection . . . I suppose that's what weekends are for.

Someday I want to bake an ENORMOUS chocolate chip cookie, kind of like the one in Bruce Almighty (only it will most likely not be quite that enormous). Then I will eat it with good friends while we talk about good times, make new memories, and possibly throw small chunks of cookie at each other. Or large chunks. Either way is fine with me.

I really want to have time to read the book about the politics of bilingualism in Barcelona that I got from the library. Maybe . . . someday.

Anyway. This is long enough. Time to read more Plato.

Today I had what I hope will be the last test I take for a while that mentions the Allegory of the Cave, since at this point I've written three short-answer responses, a test essay, and a seven-page standalone essay on it. I love my philosophy class, but at this point I'm going NO MOAR CAYV!
