Of Animals and Essays
Ever feel like your life is a sitcom?Thursday I got my first assignment. 2500 words on Kierkegaard's understanding of the debate between Hegel and Kant due yesterday (Monday). Yes, that means I need to read up on three philosophers. I got a list of 13 books help me. Only one was at my college library. The rest I would have to reserve at the Bodleian library with at least a day's notice. I was all set for a full day Saturday buried under a pile of books.
No such luck. The Oxford City Centre for some time has been planning to open an animal research facility, enraging animal lovers across the face of Europe. Saturday, they bussed in what must have been thousands of unhappy protestors. Guess where they protested. Yep, right in front of the library. Fearing violence, the Bodleian shut down.
So, I have an essay due in two days with no library to borrow books from (it is closed on Sundays). So, I hit up Borders and tried to find any sources I could online. That is until my internet stopped working Saturday night (it is still out). Still, with almost no sources, and about 500 words short of my goal, I finished the essay with 1.5 hours to spare before my tutorial.
Now, if you were writing a sitcom, what plot twist would come next? Yeah, she was sick. I now have until Friday
Well, that's it for now. Jason, we haven't been able to find Lost here yet. There are only five channels. Brady, we am done here in May. Thanks for all the comments everyone!
