Boxed Ethics

Dad and I got to work at 10:30 this morning. I did a few initial reports today. At about 3:30, someone came by to steam clean the carpet in the office. Dad dropped me in front of Tidewater for the 4:40 shuttle this afternoon.The class I had this evening was Ethics with Terence Hoyt. I thought this could be an interesting subject to have an elective class on. Unfortunately I almost immediately knew I’d be dropping the class when we received a two page handout detailing the required structure of the writing assignments. I know it’s bad news when the professor dictates font sizes, margins and paragraph structure. I take that as laziness and a hatred for grading papers, which as a paying student I don’t want to deal with. I sat through until the break at 7:30 and availed myself for some class participation (arguing with the instructor).At the break I called Dad who was still at the office and offered to pick me up. I waited in the LBC and typed the very sentences you are reading now. Later this evening I watched a little TV before bed.

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
