only a few more

ethics class was interesting today. well, the second half.
we're reading a book called the lives of animals, by j.m. coetzee. and actually, by 'we,' i think i mean a very limited number of people in the class.
since a majority of the people hadn't read the book and ultimately don't really care about animal rights, i think i was one of the only people intrigued by the lecture.
coetzee makes some good points, and he makes them in a very new way: fiction.
reading it has revitalized my interest in animal rights, etc. i think i will take one of my peter singer books with me to read on the plane (even though i should really work on research for my ethics paper). we shall see.
my liking of dr. white has increased dramatically upon learning that he doesn't eat meat either. i hope that one day i will get the courage to attempt to have a real conversation with him outside of class.

only about 5 hours until i leave for the airport. something like eight hours until i'll be back home.

oh, and i got a letter from andrew in the mail today. i think it had been sitting in my mail box for a few days, but it definitely brightened up my day.

the rest of the day:
nap/packing until class
native american studies
world lit II (i really don't want to go today...)
coxing colie's 2k
finish packing
leave for the airport with kate
get home and do laundry
