This chapter seems like a 51-page labor of futility
The chapter I’m reading deals with a highly-nuanced view of akrasia in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics.
Reading and outlining it takes a lot of effort (and about 20-25 min per page), and I’m not fully following the argument yet.
However, it’s like riding a stationary bike – it doesn’t go anywhere, but I’m getting really good exercise.
You know a book is going to be “good” when its Amazon.com listing looks like this.
Well, back to the hamster wheel…
Administration and Academics
Today, Kim wins the “wife of the year” award.
One thing I have a difficult time with in my personal life is administrative tasks. Forms, signatures, processes, payments, registration, and other such administrative tasks generally stress me out. I’m actually pushing a lot of paper at work right now, but, for my job I’m creating a system so that nothing falls through the cracks. I need to do that for my personal life.
That being said, it’s easy to see why I’m not yet registered for the classes that start the week after next. Kim offered to help me out since she’s exceptionally talented at this kind of thing and today drove out to CSULA to not only drop off my registration fees, but also to bring me some Kogi BBQ. Short rib burrito? Yes, please.
Like I said, wife of the year.
