Windsor Castle was nice, gorgeous on the inside (but alas there was no photography aloud inside) Still I took lots of photos of the outside, and the architecture is breath-taking as well. (Posted them on facebook)

I'm going on a date tomorrow night, with a nice ginger boy. He's taking me out for dinner around 4-5 at The Parrot. :) That's all I'm going to say for now... :P

So the night did not go exactly according to plan... Shall explain soon, and most likely I shall be getting up in 6 hours to go to Windsor Castle even though I think it is a waste of a day. But on a positive note... Cause all this negative tension is never good... I have a date this weekend if nothing untoward occurs between now and whichever night he wants to take me out. And my thought process is that this should be interesting at the very least. :) Anyway I should get some sleep, 6:30 will be here before I know it...

"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget."

Happy Guy Fawkes Day, I am getting ready cause the guys and I are going out tonight. I'm wearing my red dress with a black belt, black tights and ballet flats. Also I am sporting my suit jacket. First of all though I am making them dinner. Chicken Fajitas and Luke is bringing the wine. Aaron bought sparklers so we will have a little fun with some fireworks. After that we are probably going out to The Parrot. I have four sets of batteries plus the ones in my camera so hopefully that will be enough.

Tomorrow is what frustrates me... I did not realize we had a field trip until yesterday... I mean it is to Windsor Castle and yea I kind of want to see it, but I kind of also want to do my work... and actually be able to relax next week cause even though I have less work this semester than I would normally have in a semester it has not made me any less stressed. So I am debating as to whether I really want to lose a day going to Windsor Castle... my deciding factor if I feel alright in the morning I will go, if not I will not. We shall see.

I have to accomplish 2 essays and some journal entries this weekend. The Health Care debate paper and the Magna Carta paper. I also want to revise my last 500 word paper and get that out of the way entirely. My journal for American Postmodernism is coming a long nicely... I'm really enjoying the creativeness of it... So I hope they appreciate it as much as I do. :)

I also am going to cut my hair while I'm over here, which should be surprising and interesting. :)

Anyway I should probably become productive or finish getting ready. More to write later. :)

I'm slightly frustrated...

Tomorrow begins another week of classes, reading week was nice, didn't get as much stuff done as I should have but I did accomplish things. :)

Tomorrow class from 9-11 and then I have a meeting at 2. In between and afterwards I shall continue working on my journal entries, organizing my research, and begin writing my papers.

My boys come back tomorrow. :)

Anyway I should probably get some sleep, have to get up by 7:30 for the first time in a week and 1/2. So goodnight, sweet dreams. :)

Here is my Intro to my Magna Carta paper for British History: (not as exciting as the other two but whatever)

Heavy Taxation and Ignorance plagued the people of England and its Monarchy respectively through out the late 12th and early 13th centuries. With the death of King Richard I in 1199, John, his brother assumed the crown and plunged England into Turmoil. Unpopular to say the least, John was known as “John Lackland or John Softsword” and was constantly defending his crown from his own people while taxing them out of house and home. Finally in 1214, the Barons rebelled and brought before John a list of grievances, which later was signed into law as the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta, which was first issued in 1215, was reissued after John’s death in 1216 under Henry III. This document has become very important throughout history, it has had both short term and long term impacts of both positive and negative natures, from constitutions, to wars and revolutions, the Magna Carta is the foundation of modern government, laws and liberty.

Here is my intro to my ethics paper on selfishness so far:

“A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses."
-Oscar Wilde


The definition of Selfishness has become like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. Between the views of the egotist and the views of the altruist, selfishness in both respects is black and white. It is either good or bad, virtue or vice, respectively and there is no grey area present in either view. However, these two views are not the only that exist, there are also many who believe that selflessness or selfishness is determined by morality and society’s code of ethics and the last major group claims that in order to live a full and balance life, a person needs to have a little bit of both, selfishness and selflessness. To elaborate further, using the quote by Oscar Wilde as an example, selfishness is a virtue when applying it to personal desires and values. However when one tries to apply their personal desires upon someone else, selfishness becomes a vice.
