As I muse over last week class discussions and reading of Emerson’s essays, I can’t help but to look even further to when I first started the semester. I remember how we, as an entire class, stood up in the center of the room, rotated in a circle, stopped, and had very quick conversations with […]

                I can’t remember how many times, over the years, I’ve heard the phrase uttered from women, “All men are jerks!” Coincidently, I can’t seem to remember any film that amplified that phase so loudly until I watched “Thelma and Louise.” If there was a social message that Callie Khouri was trying to deliver, she […]

Last week, I was totally unprepared for two quizzes. The first quiz was in my philosophy class. That same day, I had another quiz in my film class. By the time my film instructor handed my quiz, I was so frustrated, tired, and disappointed with my unpreparedness, that I handed my quiz to my instructor with only my name […]

I thought I was smart, sly even. I had found an audio reading of Plato’s Euthyphro on the internet. I was looking for anything to assist me in getting through, what seemed like, at the moment, a difficult dialog reading.

Yesterday I tried to squeeze in a day as much as I could; homework, work, and finally, to end the day, sitting in a coffeehouse to draw. By the time I reached the coffeehouse they were ready to close. So, I went home, only to fall asleep shortly after I arrived.
