They took a vote and said no.

I'm not really a fan of Christmas or Winter or anything. This isn't to say that neither have their perks. Christmas gave me a job and I guess family and caring for people is alright. Without winter I couldn't wear sweaters and be cozy and sometimes it's really, really pretty and amazing. But currently I really glad it's winter because it means I can listen to the Sufjan Stevens quintuple Christmas album without feeling like it's kind of of wrong.

I did another one day essay yesterday. 2000 words on Jean-Paul Sartre's view of nothingness and negation and how it relates to freedom in our every day lives. For spending about 6 hours writing and basing it off about 20 pages from a text I'm pretty pleased. However, the fact that I'm pleased is not a good thing. If I can continually churn out decent papers the day before and be pleased with them I am setting myself up for failure and heart ache.

I like my job. I think. And when school is all done, I think my sanity and ability to enjoy things more readily will return. School by the way, has destroyed me consistently for the past two weeks. Two months of slacking off caught up with me in a big way and I think I learned my lesson.

Next semester should be fun, Developmental Psych, an Interdisciplinary class about the ethics behind new technology and the media, Social and Political Philosophy and Ethics in Philosophy. Hurrah for another reading and writting heavy semester!
