This is starting to feel like a chore.
The updates:
1.) I've been sick for a week with a cold that go bad enough that I thought it might be strep throat but is now dying out without giving me a fever. As such I've skipped rugby all week.
2.) A few nights after my last post the Tolkien fan group here had an awesome bonfire night, that's what all the new pics on FB are from, it was a really truly great time.
3.) I submitted my first formative essay and it went really well! My supervisor, Dr. Karen Nielsen, is really great. That said I still feel a bit like I don't know what I'm doing or should be doing. She's helping me start on another paper and I'm already just like what? what am i doing? why? why did I think I could do this?
4.) On that note, I'm still trying to remember why exactly I'm in philosophy. Half of what I want to do seems to be in theology. The other half is in literature. I don't know why I chose ancient philosophy. For instance: what I really love all has to do with God's plan and his creation. But that's not really in Plato in the same way is it? And Aristotle, all the papers are so technical and frightening. Where's the passion? Then when I'm trying to write on Aristotle (I chose to return to magnanimity) all I can think of is how it related to Shakespeare! What am I even doing here?
5.) It feels forever since I've posted. I played a lot of video games this week because I've been sick and when I'm sick I'm lazier than usual and am a terrible person.
6.) Now it feels like I have no time at all until the end of term and I need to figure out my holiday break and what I'm doing.
7.) I miss the lot of you! Sorry I haven't responded to any letters. I am a bad and lazy person.
8.) Its nearly midnight, so goodnight, all! Sorry for the lame update. I'll try to do better next time.
Praise God form whom all blessing flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
