my brain no longer cares....summer has already started up stairs

I have completed the hard parts of my final exams and projects for the semester. But I am having great difficultly because I have two exams remaining and I have no desire to study for them. I am trying to force myself but it is very hard. One of the reasons is because I have had a really hard semester and all the hard parts are over, all that is left is a test over 4 chapters of public speaking and a 50 multiple choice question exam over the semester of philosophy, otherwise known as nonsense! I hate that class and think that it was a complete waste of my time and money, why it is a university requirement I don't understand. I found it very hard to listen to people talk about whether a table was actually there and the whole last part, about how God could exist in the world when evil existed as well. All of the reasoning was ridiculous! So I have no desire to study about it. I thought that it was funny, the last essay exam I did for that class was about the argument from evil and the existence of God. I got the highest grade on that one that any of the other exams and it was the most ridiculous content that I had ever put on paper. I thought about adding a little note at the bottom that stated that the above information was not the views or beliefs of the author of the paper...that's how absurd it was! But I didn't, not knowing what the Professor would think and how that might be factored into the grade of the paper. I think that the last sentence summed up my feelings toward the subject. (it basically said that the problem or issue of evil and God existing in the same place would never be answered because everyone has their own beliefs on the matter and it would always be questioned because it is easier for people to question rather than believe...) 

So I sit at Oakville, and enjoy a cup of coffee and a yummy waffle trying to study but here I am writing this instead. Well I guess I 'll head out and work a little more. I am certainly looking forward to Tuesday afternoon... that's when I plan to be finished with the semester....and it will actually be summer for real. 

I have really be thinking about how much I want to read a book for pleasure when the semester ends. One being that Stu will still have about a week of finals and projects even after I am finished so I need to find something to keep me out of his hair so he can work without me bugging him. Books I am thinking about: Pride and Prejudice (I have never read it) or Loving Frank. Any others you would like to recommend? 

Talk to you later!
