So apparently the Boston Red Sox won the World Series sometime over the weekend. Through an unfortunate coincidence of assignments and exams, I somehow managed, despite living in downtown Boston, to remain completely unaware of this until today. I didn't find out until I walked into my Introduction to Philosophy elective at around noon, mentally running through everything we'd learned up until now, since we were supposed to have an exam today. I entered the room, only to find it empty but for the professor, who informed me that on account of the celebration in progress downtown, the exam was cancelled. Instead of administering the test, he handed out a couple questions and told us to do them at home and email our answers to him at our leisure, as long as he gets them by Friday afternoon. So rather than taking an exam, the class gets to go celebrate with the Red Sox. Well, except for me, of course, because I still had a road to design by 4:30.
Why the hell aren't I a philosophy major??? I'm fairly certain none of my engineering professors would cancel an exam so that the students could go get drunk before noon.

Go, Sox Go!
Now do you see why I studied so much philosophy in University? You get to think a whole bunch to stimulate those brain cells, then drink a whole bunch to kill em off! Then you don't even have to take a test so no one ever knows how brain dead you really are.
Of course this does cause you to fail those "real life tests" like get a job... hmmm... hindsight...
What sort of school IS THIS?
So, you thinik philosophy is a gravy train? Try LITERATURE.
I tried to tell you all! Alas, only Matthew has heeded my advice.
Yeah.. RED SOX!!!!!
Heh, the great things that come from heeding the advice of your father and your priest!
