A Blog of a Different Color 

I said I was going to change the color scheme, didn't I? I couldn't stand the old colors anymore (see the bottom choice on the template poll to find out why). If you have any comments about the new template, whether you like it or not, you're welcome to leave them here.

Also, I said I might post a portion of the essay I wrote, but it really sucked, so I'm going to keep it confidential. In the process of writing that thing, however, I set a new record for turning work in at the last minute. Basically, it was due by 5 PM, and I started writing it at about 1 (which should give you some idea of how good it was). Anyway, I spent the whole afternoon writing, and I finished around 4:30. Unfortunately, I have the worst printer on the face of the earth, and it took about 15 minutes to print out a readable copy. I had to write "sorry if this is hard to read. I printed several copies and this was the best one" on the inside of the cover page so the TA would know why it was so funny looking.

Now, at this point, it was about 4:47. All I had to do was staple the essay together. Unfortunately, my stapler decided that it didn't feel like putting the staples all the way through the paper today, and then it jammed. Luckily, my roommate's stapler was sitting out, so I used it, then I rushed out of the room and made my way toward the building where the philosophy TA offices are. I got lucky with this one, because the building happens to be about 5 minutes from my dorm, but I had to run down the Mount Olympus stairs (there are 100 of them, if you didn't know) to get there. Also, the TA offices are on the 4th floor, so I had to go up 4 flights of stairs. When I finally got there and dropped my essay in the box, it was 4:56. That is not an exaggeration. If I had gotten there 4 minutes later, I would've lost 1/3 of my total grade. 4 minutes! All right, I probably bored you with that story, but it was still worth blogging about.
