I turned in my first essay in about one and a half years today. All the philosophy essays have to be turned in at the philosophy department building (house?) which is a block off campus amidst a bunch of raggedy old flats. You also have to sign a plagiarism contract thing and attach it to the front of the essay. I guess they're pretty strict on plagiarism here and I couldn't help but worry as I slipped the essay into the box if I had cited everything I was supposed to and done it adequately as to not get kicked out of school. I'm sure MLA format was sufficient, and that the 5 times I quoted something I cited it (I'm pretty sure). I think the TA is reading them anyway, and he always comes into tutorial with some kind of cutoff sweatshirt like he's some jock out of the eighties. He's gotta be chill.
As it turns out, I've been looking at the wrong thing when finding my math assignments. The thing I've been reading is like 3 times as long as the actual assignment sheet. I was wondering why my grades were so bad, I guess I've been straight up doing the wrong problems. LOL. My math grade is sitting at like a 56% (WHICH IS A C LOL), and I guess not knowing what the assignment is can greatly contribute to this.
My life seems to be getting pretty boring. Sorry I don't have much more to report this time. This weekend I think I'll be heading to Queenstown where the highlight will probably be watching my friends bungie jump. I don't think I'll be doing it (yeah I'm a pussy), for a couple reasons: 1) it's like $200; 2) I'm not super into 10 second free falls, and I'm not sure I want to spend the money to piss my pants. If I was the kind of person that would really enjoy that, I would gladly "invest" the money in the experience. But since I'll likely black out after the 5th second, I don't think it's worth the money.
That's all.
Peace out!
