1 down....Alternate title: I hate writing Philosophy papers...
I mean, my thing is Econ...It's hard for me to get into the Philosophy paper mindset. This one was on world hunger and poverty, something I actually know a good bit about, so it came pretty easily. 6 pages. Well written. Good analysis. Plus, I got to rip on Garrett Hardin, an author I can't stand. :P

And now, I will go spend too much $ at the grocery store before I tackle a few article response essays for American Econ. History.

:hi:

1. Man, I wish I could go back to school
Even if it were just a certificate program at a community college. No time now. I work 12 hours a day plus 1 hour commuting a day. I think I'd like to be a diesel mechanic. Or maybe a pharmacy technician.

4. Aw come on
Philo papers are the best to write. Minimal dependence on fact and maximum verbal banter and exploration. Room for vocabulary building and experimental, opinion-based delving. None of that fundamental requirement on bibliography but lots of elbow room for bibliophilia.

I was a Philo major ;) What or who is your topic?
