So I seem to be doing fairly well in the Into to Philosophy class that I’m taking online this semester… I mean grade wise. As far as how I am managing to do so, I have no idea. Quite honestly, for the most part, I have no idea what is going on in the class, and yet I seem to be passing. Therefore I am choosing to take it at face value, and not question it too much. If I can keep this up for the next few months it would be fantastic.
In other news, I put an application in at a local store. Hopefully I’ll get called back for an interview in the next few weeks. That would be awesome! Though turning in the application got me thinking about why I don’t enjoy the application and interview process.
For the most part, in order to secure a job you need to be good at promoting yourself. I am not particularly good at this. I can very easily pinpoint what I am not good at, but I often feel as though I’m not the best to judge what I am good at. But to some degree I think we’re all that way. It’s a common trait, being primarily aware of our faults and flaws.
I also managed to remedy my watch situation. Finally. It took me long enough, I know, but once a procrastinator always a procrastinator. I also think I did fairly well on the psychology test today. Hopefully I feel the same way next Wednesday after I take my first Algebra test. Though for the moment the semester is going by smoothly, and really that’s all I can ask for at the moment.

Inadvertent Sleep Deprivation
Despite attempting to go to sleep around eleven last night, I ended up reading until two-thirty this morning. Sleep has been illusive lately, which is annoying, but last night it’s absence allowed me to read a book from cover to cover.
That’s something I haven’t done lately. It was refreshing.
I still haven’t remedied the watch situation. I considered buying a new band, but that’s equitable to buying a new watch. I could buy a new watch, but I don’t really want to. So at this point I’m thinking of making or at least rigging up a new band. That of course is going to take some ingenuity.
Although, I must say it’s interesting to have gone without a watch for the last week. You begin to realize just how reliant you are upon being able to know exactly what time it is. In many ways not having a watch seems to make time more important, because you think over it more. Yet, at the same time it becomes less important because it is less accessible.
Do you think we over exaggerate the importance of time in our everyday lives?

My Watch
The other day I broke my watch. Well, not technically the other day, more like last Saturday. And when I say I broke it, that’s not quite what I mean either… the watch itself is intact but I definitely ripped the band away from the watch itself.
It’s not something I did on purpose mind you.
You see I was at work last Saturday, and was working in the fudge shop. This means of course wearing gloves when handling the fudge, but then having to remove them every time you move to the register. So at some point I moved to the register and attempted to remove the glove, which got caught on my watch.
Instead of waiting until I was done with the customer and then moving away from the counter to inspect the situation, you know, like a rational person, I gave the glove a swift tug. This of course removed the glove, but also resulted in my watch flying off my wrist.
Of course, the customer was standing right there, and he very astutely said, “You broke your watch.” Really? How would I have noticed had he not pointed it out?
So anyway, I’ve gone since Saturday without a watch, because I keep forgetting to remedy the situation. Except for when I look at my wrist expecting my watch to be there… then I remember rather quickly.
Anyway, back to philosophy. Geez, it’s going to be a long night.
