You've Been Givin' Me That Line So Many Times/It Kinda Gets That Feelin' Bad Looks Good

It is a good thing that college football is still going on, because otherwise I would be entering a sports blackout period. I rarely if ever watch the NBA anymore, except around the playoffs, and even that is a rare occurrence. The only NFL broadcast that I care about is the Super Bowl, and let's just say that Hockey is a mere blip on the sports radar screen.

School is going very well at this point in the semester, and the workload has been very manageable. We have a test today in Early Political Theory, so if anyone wants to talk about the political philosophy of St. Augustine or Thomas Aquinas, just come by UP #1015, and we can chat.

This class has torn down some of my past thought structures, and enabled me to look at my future plans and aspirations in a new light. In the past, when I spoke of career plans, I always said I planned to go to law school, but in the back of my mind I secretly hoped that I could teach one day. As I began speaking with Dr. Hailey about possible graduate schools and degrees in political science, my mind was inundated with actual joy and anticipation on that path. I really believe that could be a job that I would go to everyday, and feel like I am passing on something of myself and my limited knowledge to those around me. If I were able to live in a community of learning with people who eagerly sought after knowledge, my work would never feel like a job.

In Closing: Who wants to contribute to the Justin vs. Mt. Kilimanjaro fund? Every little bit helps.
