"There are, however, some things good," said Candide.
"This may be," said Martin, "but I know them not."
In the middle of this dispute they heard the report of cannon; it redoubled every instant. Each took out his glass. They saw two ships in close fight about three miles off. The wind brought both so near to the French vessel that our travelers had the pleasure of seeing the fight at their ease. At length one let off a broadside, so low and so truly aimed, that the other sank to the bottom. Candide and Martin could plainly perceive a hundred men on the deck of the sinking vessel; they raised their hands to heaven and uttered terrible outcries, and the next moment were swallowed up by the sea.
"Well," said Martin, "this is how men treat one another."
"It is true," said Candide, "there is something diabolical in this affair."

1. go over the things i have and make sure they are good/make sense
2. analyze the arguments critically
3. argue for the instrumentalist one because huntington is silly
4. conclusion/intro

god DAMNIT! i will never sleep! i'll do the first three tonight and the rest tomorrow after german yayyy. i have not slept since 8:30 yesterday morning. this is a problem, especially if i expect to go out and stuff tomorrow.

dear livejournal friends, you should post more entries so i know what's going on in your lives.

i am now going to leave the place i'm in, go back to my room and eat some fruit, and relocate to the library until it CLOSES at midnight. it should never close. maybe then i will bring my laptop out to coffee.

oh jesus. this is surreal.

people are crazy. things are crazy. i must say i like it better this way, overwhelmed and busy enough to have something to do besides make myself insane. at the same time though, i am lazy, because everything i do has a certain amount of laziness to it. i go out but when i do we smoke in tunnels and cars and walk because it's nice outside and have a good time with whoever we are with because we're leaving. i'm leaving. it's good. everything's good.

i'm smoking and listening to bob marley right now, and i have family guy waiting for me whenever i choose to abandon my location; really, how could it be better? gosh. gosh gosh. awesome.

i have a few reasons to be stressed out right now, including failing french, possible un-acceptance from college, and lack of money for europe because for some reason i've spent money like crazy since deciding to save it, but i'm not. i've chosen to let go of the stress, it's gone, i'm happy. i have faith that things will work out and that even if they don't everything will be okay. the feeling of graduating has just overtaken eveything else. it's like nothing matters except for the fact that my life is about to change dramatically.

on another note, it's nice outside. i want to be outside all the time.

i don't know what to do with myself. everything is far too ordinary and i can't do anything without feeling silly about it. i've been waiting for something for too long, convincing myself that i may as well give up on everything and wait to leave, and that's what i've been doing for months. it's hard to look forward to anything, nothing is interesting.
