Saturday Night Shenanigans

Nothing of the sort going on here tonight.

It's a cold night here in Brisbane, the coldest of the year so far, although that is still above freezing.  I have spent the day doing reading and research for an essay that is due Monday on Aristotle's concept of happiness in the Nicomachean Ethics.  Having written for a few hours I have now decided to take a break from serious writing and instead to write a blog post before I go and put my feet up for the night.  My brain is swirling and churning with ideas and concepts and I find they need to percolate down and fooat round in the depths of thought for a while before they emerge in new forms. 

It is good to be thinking again, and to be remembering the techniques of critical thinking and examining.  After some serious doubts that study was a wise idea I am starting to find my feet and get back into the routine of lectures, readings, discussion questions, and essays.  It's still challenging, but it's not impossible.

As a result it has been a busy week, and as such the usual flow of prattle that I engage in on this blog has been slightly curtailed.  I would love to be able to offer some wise words or pithy comments on the state of the world, but for the moment I think I will instead hang back and allow study to change and alter my view of things.

In the meantime, hang loose, enjoy life, follow your dreams, love all...
