Philosophy and a Drive


So today I had my philosophy class, I didn’t really want to go because I was so sleepy. I usually wake up at 10am but today I woke up at 6am so it kind of threw me off. I missed class last week because I wasn’t feeling too good so I had to make up a quiz. I have to say it was pretty easy. Of course most quizzes are easy when you get to use notes! Today we learned about several different philosophers including Socrates. So far I am really enjoying this class. It is a lot different than I thought it would be. My professor is a little boring at times, probably because it is a 7-10pm class and he had been teaching the whole day. It is amazing how much this man knows. He goes on and on about all kinds of stuff and never has to look at his notes. He is in his 60s and he really enjoys telling us about his childhood and how he used to play with tinker toys. You can tell his students really enjoy his class because although he keeps us till 10pm (usually they let us out 30mins early) only one or two students ever leave early. This is one of the few classes that actually make me think and question what I thought I have always known.
I got in my car at about 10:10pm and as I was waiting for my windows to clear up I noticed a few rows away that a guy couldn’t start his car. Immediately several people came to help him. It really makes me feel good to know that there are still people who are willing to help someone in need.
Five minutes into my drive home I got stopped at a railroad crossing, this happens to me like once every few months. Most people wait a minute then make a u-turn because they hate waiting, I on the other hand don’t mind. After the train passed I drove another 10 minutes and two of the three lanes were closed for construction work. This resulted in another 10 minute wait, but I got to see some hot guys getting down and dirty, so I can’t complain. Once I was passed that it was pretty much smooth sailing the rest of the way home accept I saw two fire trucks and an ambulance at a building which caused a few people to be rubber necks. I got home and was shocked to see that my brother was actually home for once. Usually he is out till the wee hours of the morning. As soon as I walked in I heard my dad’s dog pounding on the door to let her in, so I did. Man did she stick today. Now I am just here typing and eating some leftover Greek food. YUMMY!
