| midterms, already. |
[Feb. 16th, 2007|02:20 am] |
I finally filled out the website form to have the Corolla towed away. It'll be a week or two until it actually leaves, but the wheels have been set in motion. Now I just need to get a replacement goddamn recycle bin for the one some fucker took off the street Tuesday morning. Who steals a damned recycle bin? They hand them out for free over at Public Works! Sheesh.
It's midterms. I should have spent longer working on this; almost none of it is about the statistical math I was pretty sure I'd gotten a grasp of--no, it's multiple choice questions about definitions of certain terms that I'd glossed over, figuring that as long as I understood the concepts, I'd be fine. Of course, now I'm scratching my head over which of three very similar definitions is the right one. Damn it.
Funny how I'm not even considering looking up the answers online, as we're on the honor system to make it a closed-book exam. I suppose I don't consider a half-letter difference in grades to be worth (a) the slippery slope, and (b) the catastrophic shame. Sure, maybe no one else would know, but I'd know. I think this ties in well with the origins-of-morality reading I'd been doing, and last Sunday's talk with Rick and Dave. See, what's keeping me on the straight and narrow isn't fear so much as the threat of shame. We have shame so that we'll behave, because if we do something wrong and are discovered, it's bad. Better to do good.
