I'm going to wish I had this extra ten minutes or so tomorrow morning when I want to sleep in for a bit longer, but I guess I'll be willing to sacrifice it now for a little more leisure time before I jump thoroughly into my paper. The week is basically over once I turn in the paper, too... since I don't have calc tomorrow. I just hope we do a fair number of problems in problem session tonight so I don't have to spend all my free time tomorrow morning while I'm not having calc class doing my homework.
I'd like to take the time right now, in the middle of this mini writing warm-up to complain about this paper. My choices are the three most obtuse and insane essay topics I have seen all year here. Insane! Abso-freakin-lutely bloody insane. I can't even figure out what it's saying with a thesaurus there are so many bizarre words in it. And the purpose of the paper is to use a comparison with Aristotle (inasmuch as a comparison means "How does Neitzsche argue with Aristotle's point) to "cast light on a diffcult moment" in Neitzsche's writing. What the heck is that supposed to mean? So I'm writing about how Nietzsche builds off of Aristotle's argument, written while Socrates was screwing everything about the aesthetic justification of existance up, and creates a link back to the aesthetic existance as all the Socratic stuff is falling apart. And see, that is far more coherant than what I've got in my notes so far, so this is progress! Actually, you can't see... because my notes are on a piece of paper next to me. But you can imagine, I'm sure. I will be so proud of myself if I can get a page written before I go to my problem session. I think I'm going to use that sentence up there as a new and better thesis, because it'll be more fun to justify that little bit of strange logic than the perfectly logical and banal thesis I had before I started rambling here about how all my paper topics are absolutely not acute.
People keep yelling at me for disliking Nietzsche... it's not so much that I dislike him... I mean, I feel sorry for the guy. He was a bright young man, a bit German, and he had sex once and got syphillus. Poor guy. Then he went nuts. But really the only thing he did wrong (aside from a hooker) was write the Birth of Tragedy. It's like what I'd write if I was patriotic and on crack and obsessed with... oh... I can't think of a contemporary equivalent to Wagner, so I'll say... umm... ok, Ben Folds or something, and thought that he was the cure to all our problems. Of course, Nietzsche didn't have to deal with all the crap we have now, too. What would Nietzsche do? (I think, now that I know how to spell Nietzsche, I am going to keep writing it all the time so I can feel special).
Now, aside from this paper thing, what I really want to know is how LJ knows that I'm the most easily-distracted... hmm... not that they're wrong or anything, obviously.
