Going Away for the Weekend

December 14th, 2006

I’m attending a funeral for my great-aunt in New York this Saturday, so I will be staying there for the weekend. She was my grandma’s sister (on my mom’s side). I never really knew her, but it’s always kinda sad when someone dies.

So what have I been up to the last little while? Nothing really. My Distance Education course is over now, which means no more Philosophy for me — at least for the rest of this year. I must say the last few Philosophers I studied in the course makes me feel a bit differently about Philosophy. I really enjoyed Bertrand Russell’s book, “The Problems of Philosophy.” Firstly, it was written in modern times, which means no old style English. It was also short and concise. Overall, a very enjoyable and easy read.

I don’t really have any plans for the rest of December except a get-together at Steve’s place after Christmas. I’m hoping to see Ams next week, for a movie perhaps. She doesn’t know what her schedule is like yet, so everything is still up in the air.
