Mornin’ Sunshine

May Morn be born from her mother Night.

AESCHYLUS

It’s a little after ten o’clock and I’m done with crew (coxing a men’s eight), finished my 10k erg. piece in the gym, eaten breakfast, showered, primped, and I’m ready for music today!
I’ll get my second shot at the music test today to ensure that I’m competent enough to move on to sophomore year. If I fail, I cannot go beyond freshman year at St. John’s, but I’m not worried. I have it down. I know my notes. I know my intervals. I know my scales. I know my chords and keys. Piece of cake.

I never did report how well crew went on Sunday. It was lovely. I wished I had brought my camera. The colors were so beautiful and the water was smooth and blue like the clear sky. The women’s four had their best time by over two-seconds (huge drop for 6k), and our team did well overall. Unfortunately, we won’t return to the Occoquan Chase on parents’ weekend as we anticipated due to registration complications.
Now I’m prepping to cox a novice men’s eight on Saturday against Annapolis Rowing Company. The men are in decent shape, but we don’t have nearly the boat set (balancing side-to-side) of the veteran women’s four.

I finished another lab journal, and I’m undertaking a new paper now in lab to explain my most recent Fish Lab paper. It’s not finished, but he said I went above and beyond the assignment, so he wanted me to concentrate on the next paper, which is a personal challenge to fulfill the following criteria:

• Take my deepest belief(s) and examine how it (they) could be wrong.
• Examine myself to see if I use ambiguous language to explain away philosophical and/or scientific quandaries.
• Examine the pattern I choose to assign importance to philosophical matters
• Have I created false dilemmas to justify my philosophies?
• Rate myself (on a scale of 1-10): How much of a “know-it-all” am I?

This is going to be the hardest paper I’ve ever written.

Praise the Lord. I’m off to read Plato before work.
