invisible woman

i feel invisible.. maybe i am? in that case i'll just stay invisible.

my philosophy teacher didn't assign a paper today. whew! but i have a feeling he's gonna assign one on thursday for us to do over break. womp womp womp! i thought i was gonna be able to go through a spring break without having to deal with homework but i guess not.

so tuesday is pretty much over with, so am i allowed to say that it's wednesday already? if so then atleast tomorrow is thursday! i must gather my things together for my trip with my best friend. i hope eleanor is okay. i wouldn't want her to trip out. KNOCK ON WOOD. i just want chris and i to be safe, that's all. adventures are coming up soon. we'll have activities to do!!! yaaaaay.

i miss the love of my life. i can't wait till our lips meet again. mmmm it'll be perfect.

------------------------edit
today in philosophy we're talking about sense data and how we learn things. i wish i was listening. the chapter that we're going through right now is about knowledge and how we learn things. this class just made me realize how frightening the mind really is. we look at things through a deeper perspective in this class and it really is mind boggling. some of the concepts and theories really make me think and not just about what we're learning in class but i also try to apply it to myself and think of examples from my own life experiences to what we learn in class. how do you unknow something? you can't. isn't that trippy? i wish that i was paying attention in class.. but at this moment in class it's beginning to get a little hazy. it's not sinking in but i make note of important things. that's all that matters right? haha NO! so descartes couldn't get passed his idea of metaphysics so he couldn't really explain how knowledge is learned or how we learn things. he kept referring back to innate knowledge, God, and substance blah blah blah but john locke believed that we learn things through our senses. he also disagreed with descartes' ideas of innate knowledge but Leibniz found flaws in locke's theories. leibniz brought up a good idea about if we don't have innate knowledge then what about the people that are natural athletes or those who have the ability to sing and hold a note. they must have some innate knowledge but locke disagrees. that made me think... those who are masters at things like mathematics, music, sports etc. etc. where does it come from? i guess i have to read on and wait for the next class to figure it out. hope i don't sleep!
