So, I've been meaning to take a quick diversion from studying for a big Philosophy exam, and my mind wandered to some of the highlights of this week: one of which was a Phil club meeting on Tuesday. I'm one of the Executive Board members, and we primarily spent the hour discussing Consumer Ethics. For instance, a couple of females sued McDonald's in the past year for allegedly 'making them fat'. In such a scenario, who do you decide to launch the attacks at--the corporation, for making such forceful advertisements as 'our food is perfect for Breakfast, lunch AND dinner!' or the consumers, for buying into that marketing madness and not adjudicating what's right themselves?
The group came up with some rather quirky insights, and all in all, the discussion flowed smoothly, being one that had you thinking about the questions long after the proclaimed hour had ended. I'm going to be leading a discussion on Cosmology sometime soon, and I'm hoping to incorporate a notch of Physics into my Philosophies--after all, what else is DePauw best for? Intermingling your varied interests into a holistic liberal arts education--that's what the 'uncommon success' is all about, in my book.
Phil club is a great way to kick back, relax, and spend some thoughtful time away from class and work indulging in issues you find provocative. That apart, it's a great opportunity to meet people who share similar or opposing ideas as you. And if that weren't enough, free food is always a good reason to attend meetings! It's alternate Tuesdays from 6-7 at Reese Lobby--I COMMAND you to attend in the future!
Other than that, this week has been pretty exhausting and flooded with work--just the way I like it. A friend of mine got me some Milk Cakes the other day (Indian dessert that's much to die for), and I shared it with some of my professors--and much to my relief, they absolutely loved it. I have my birthday in a couple of days, and at this point, I can't quite tell if I'm excited or not. It is the aphoristic TWO DECADES, after all.
More news to follow!
I had a temptation to sign off as Gossip Girl, but wasn't sure if I'm brave enough to do it. Let's see, now...
You know you love me,

(So I managed it! I guess now it just means I need to provide my readers a few more reasons to do so). :)
