Metaphysical Monday

It's nearly ten. It's two minutes 'til. When it is ten I will start studying. I will not stop until it's time for the exam. As soon as the exam is over, I will throw some dice and come back to this post.

All right. Metaphysics is over with, and provided I passed, I will never have to take philosophy again if I don't want to! This will be significantly more exciting once I'm certain I've passed. There are about 50 questions I'm not sure about. But there were 207 questions total. I'm really hoping I didn't make any incredibly stupid mistakes, but as long as I have passed the class, I don't care. I'll take a D at this point. If I sound desperate, it's the idea of having to put my life on hold to re-take a class I hated and didn't understand very well. I'm about 80% certain I passed it... I'll know by... Thursday? Maybe sooner. I suppose I could ask the professor in question if he could just email me. I'm not going to think about it any more if I can help it. I'm burning my notes/study guides for it tonight, so that should help, I think. I'm going to have to walk up to Shore Stop and buy myself a lighter.
So that's one die.

I also emailed Mary from CETP, that's the other one. So the dice are cast and I have things to burn. No ship burning though. That never seems to end well- see Feanor and others as negative examples.
1 die + 1 die= 2 dice. Despite the penchant many people have (I'm guilty of this too) for saying 'dice' for plural and singular.

I wish I could think of something remotely more intelligent to ramble about but I think metaphysics and the port I had to calm my nerves succeeded in rendering my brain more or less useless. So now I'm going to do something useful. I think. We'll see.
