This post will be entirely random. Enjoy.
Today was a good day. But not in an over excited bouncing off the walls want to live it again and again kind of way. I feel calm, I feel I’ve been productive and I feel happy.
That fact that I was babysitting till 12:30 last night and so am now shattered probably has something to do with that…
Anyway, on to the day’s musings. During period three, the sandwiched between recess and lunch, I sat in on my first ever Philosophy lesson. It wasn’t really planned, I just followed Livi and Anna to their classroom and was invited in. I really liked it. The fact that I’m not actually taking the subject and so didn’t have to take notes or worry about remembering specific terms or names meant that I could just sit and discuss and absorb.
The lesson was all a discussion on Law and Liberty and firstly how different people try and make laws that truely benefit society without endangering their liberty. Then we talked about how, in a liberal democratic society some people are, under some circumstances, allowed to break laws. Civil disobedience, never thought about it before.
So yes, my delve into the world of Mr N’s philosophy lessons was highly enjoyable and I hope they have me back sometime. In other news today I queued for a silly length of time in the post office to hand in a form telling transport for london a whole bunch of stuff about me that they allready know. Then I went to Waterstones and got 10% off the geography textbook I had to buy because the guy at the till got the The Big Band Theory reference when I said “I don’t have a student card because there just isn’t space for one in my wallet”.
Amen and Out
