Yes, again

I about a billion things to write in here that I thought of on the drive home. All of this specificity but then all of a sudden I had to get out of my car. So I have learned, yet again, that I should not drive when I am stoned because I let my brain focus on other things perhaps not focusing on. And because we all know that you should focus on your driving when you're driving; you may kill someone else. Just as you shouldn't drive drunk, either. Many of us doing it with only ourselves in mind like, "If I die, then it was my fault anyway," not like, "If I drive without focusing my attention on driving, then I may kill someone or myself." Maybe later I can prepare a truth table to find out if these compound sentences are equivalent!

We have been studying symbolic logic in math for the past week and it is quite fun! It's like a game. Today we had four separate statements written in different ways and then an original compound statement. We figured out the truth value of each sentence which made sense besides the weird ambiguous ones, and then compared the truth value to the original's value and there you have it! Brilliant!
The statement was something like, "If it is snowing, then I wear a jacket." The alternate statements were something like (this may be wrong):
a: If I wear a jacket, then it is snowing.
b: It is not snowing and I wear a jacket.
c: It is snowing or I wear a jacket.
d: It is not snowing or I don't wear a jacket.
Anyway, it sounds boring... it is a little boring but it's like a puzzle and I've never been good at puzzles. Teacher said take a guess and just write it down over here, and then do the work and see if you were right. I was right! I am a psychic! And the smart guy in the back guess the two that were very wrong. Yay for logic even it may be a hetero-normative excuse in life, as the philosopher claimed at the Symposium. I always think about that... but mostly I feel like it is a quantifiable way to measure out arguments, to dissect them and find the bullshit per say. A quantifiable way to measure out arguments. That's a pretty horrible sentence hahahahahahahhHAHAHHAhahahHAHHAahhahuahdehehehehehhohohohohoh

Anyway, I wonder why Math 100 is so easy and much more fun than the hard ass algebra classes I took before this!? If anything, this shit could be taught online to much more avail (makes sense?) than Algebra 2.

Brett called me today and I may or may not have been a little bitchy on the phone.

Stoned at the moment.
