School: Semester 1, Day 18

I forgot to mention that in my Trig class even though we won't be taking the test until Monday, we will be starting the new material tomorrow, the last day of class for this week. I do not like doing this. It leaves this weird sort of overlap feeling in my brain, a feeling like I might need to know that stuff on the test. I wish these fuckers would just suck it up and take the test on it's scheduled date.

Anyhow I'm now taking a break from studying/homework. I spent the first 3 hours doing 2 sections of Trig problems because I somehow managed to get myself one section behind the class in homework. I stopped doing the Trig assignments because I was completely burnt out, took a break for dinner, and then continued with Philosophy.

Today we were assigned an essay in which we are supposed to choose between Hard or Soft Determinism, Libertarianism or Frankfurt's "Deep Self" theory, all of which deal with causality, free will and moral responsibility. I have a problem with this. We haven't even covered Frankfurt yet! We're going to do that tomorrow, Thursday. The damn essay is due on Friday before the test. How am I supposed to make a decision on the subject without being fully informed. OK, so I read some of his writings on the subject in our book, and I found it to be so utterly confusing that I just discarded the whole idea and wrote the essay without even considering it. I already had my beliefs set anyway, and he said in class today that our own argument is what is important, not our knowledge of theirs. I'm considering posting it here when it's finished but I think that it might be a bit of a problem in case someone takes it and uses it for an essay in some other philosophy class. Am I morally responsible if a person chooses to take my work for his own? Hahaha. I crack myself up.

Anyway I still have a lot of History studying to do for THAT test Friday so it's back to the grind for me.
