It's Tin, It's From France!

By Diana Hsieh

I just turned in my final paper for the semester. Thank goodness! It has been a very unpleasant week of endless hours of writing, take-out dinners, the occasional panic, and Vivarin. Yes, Vivarin. I've never had to take drugs to stay awake before, but I was sleep deprived for just too many days on end to stay awake all by willpower alone. Now I wish marijuana were legal.

So now I just have my Camp Indecon lessons to finish up (due May 15th), my Advanced Seminar paper on philosophy of mind to overhaul (due May 26th), a massive programming project (due June 15th), and my Objectivism 101 lectures to revise (due June 24th). Then I'll be gone from home for a month for the TOC summer seminar, the ARI summer conference, and Camp Indecon. I'm taking August off... oh, except I'll have a paper on self-deception to due at the end of the month.

Gnat said this today: "First there's the woman. Then there's fire. Then bonking bonking bonking." Does the stress and sleep deprivation explain why I found it so completely hysterical? I don't know. All I know is that IT'S TIN, IT'S FROM FRANCE. Really.

American Idol was perfect tonight. Life is good... or at least better.

Update: Due to serious philosophic and moral objections, I am no longer associated with The Objectivist Center in any way, shape, or form. My reasons why can be found on my web page on The Many False Friends of Objectivism.
