sooo ... dang, i had this whole list of things i forgot to put up last time and now ive forgotten most of em. grrr.
well, one thing. work was fun times. i had to buy a new outfit (*darn*), all black and what not, but its cute. and i get this great half apron with a dancing lizard on it =)
i got there and stood around being useless for about an hour, then things started really picking up and i ended up running food out to tables all over the place (they arent terribly organized) and if there wasnt food to be run, clearing empty tables and setting them up again. im basically a glorified busboy for the time being.
but its cool, because the food is amazing, seriously (its actually more than a pizzeria, its a fairly classy restaurant/bar as well), and pretty all the patrons were really nice. plus the people who work there are by far the friendliest crew ive come across yet, by the end of my shift we were all goofing around (i stayed till close, which is 1230) and one of the guys gave me a lift back home, so it was super sweet. PLUS i get payed 16bucks an hour, paydays on sunday, and (im fairly certain) in cash. =D
ok, get this
i just emailed fred freddoso and i have four philos lined up for next semester
plato with sayre (my meaning of life prof, this being the class i bullied him into teaching); God, philosophy, and universities with MACINTYRE (ill be rereading newman, but i dont think itll kill me); socrates, nietzsche, and kierkegaard with neiman (my maimonides prof that i love, i think the course description looks really interesting, but honestly, its mostly just an excuse for me to have a class with him again); possibly a joint seminar with two killer profs on the nature of freedom (its a philo/theo); and (hahahahahhahha) last but oh so definitely not least, aquinas' philosophical theology with (im so grinning right now) john o'callaghan.
i love my life.
i dont know about the joint seminar yet because there's a PLS seminar on poetry that my friend brian really wants me to take that i will take if avail, but i just asked him what exactly its called/whos teaching it, and i dont know yet if its being offered. if it is, im going to take it as long as it doesnt conflict with my main four philos, and if i do take it, ill probably end up auditing the joint seminar.
im already bouncing off the walls as it is, those classes *plus* football season ... oh my, there really is nowhere else but Notre Dame.
not that i dont love it here, oh dont get me wrong, but you all know how madly in love with my school i am. *smiles blissfully*
ok other news ... i need addresses. as it is, i can send home a postcard, and my peeps at ND, but i dont have anyone elses, so yeah, you should get on sending me those.
oh yeah, congrats to catherine, i hear you've been tearing up the tennis courts. props and all that.
ok, im off to go work on a group project, hopefully ill remember what else i was supposed to put up here ...

Mom wants to know what it means if you give someone props. She thought you meants "probst".
props: slang for "proper recognition"; it means respect, "shweet" as it were
Socrates, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard sounds like a great, great class. Two of the most enjoyable "wrongsters" I've ever read. Should be a blast. Which K. do you read?
thats actually a good question, i have no idea. i would email neiman, but i have a feeling he doesnt know yet either, lol.
the course descrip is:
"Socrates is often understood to have invented philosophy as an art of examination and way of life. In this course we will examine the nature of the Socratic art, along with a few critical appropriations of it by Nietzsche and Kierkegaard among others. The key question of the course is: Is philosophy as Socrates understood it possible today?"
in case you were interested
Sounds very cool. Keep me posted. A reading list, when available, would be greatly appreciated.
not a problem
