Thursday...

Hi everyone; welcome to the almost-end-of-the-week!  Christmas concert, finals, and final Music History paper are coming up way too quickly....it's that time of night where I'm not sure how I'm going to fit it all in, so I should probably just go to bed.

Though I'm rather overwhelmed right now, it hasn't always been so -- this is how my day began:


Beautiful, isn't it?  And then we talked about happiness in Philosophy, though not very satisfactorily.  I think we resolved it that you can be happy...maybe?  In Heaven, for sure, and on earth, possibly.  But it was a fun discussion. :)  And this afternoon we had the last Lit choir rehearsal before the concert, which is always nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time.  We're ready!

Please pray for my project of handing out the HLA fliers: there is no soliciting on campus, publications sent to student mailboxes must be advertising a particular club event, and the Student Center is a "paper-free facility."  So I think my last option is to take this off-campus (and maybe leave a few stray ones behind me in the library); I'm hoping that I get enough volunteers to make it doable and don't get the pro-life in trouble in the process!

To close, I must add that the ASC really isn't a paper-free facility -- this commercial came to mind:


P.S.  I forgot to mention today's great quote -- it takes a little background info, so stay with me here.  Dr. Coulter mentioned that upper-level philosophy courses are made mostly of men with a few women (one of his courses had only one girl: his daughter).  He then said how, if he was a student and the positions were reversed, he wouldn't have liked to be the only male in a class of thirty students, and he looked to the guys for agreement: you wouldn't want to be the only boy in a class of all girls, right?  And one of my classmates said, "Why not?  That's, like, 29 numbers!"  General outcry/uproar; it was pretty hilarious. :D
