Stepping out of the Nonage*

September has flown by much more quickly then I would have liked, but it usually feels like that because of the Jewish high holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur).

I can hardly believe I have been living in this apartment for almost a month! So far, I have mostly good things to say about living away from home with a roommate, although every few days I feel a little lonely for my family but I am sure that feeling will fade. I absolutely love being a five minute walk from school and no more than a 20 minute walk from work, it feels great. I have to say I am not impressed with my spending, but it's okay, rent is paid and so far all the bills as well. I have to work better at controlling the flow of money, but I am learning slowly. I am very lucky to have parents who are helping me out with some of my expenses. *phew*

I am unsucessfully working my way through Kant's Judgement of Aesthetics ...but really...it seems interesting but his language is so technical. I am about 65% optimistic that I will succeed in understanding his concepts...who knows.


Seems like I have a bad case of the ramblings. Time to get back to homework.


Reading:
Immanuel Kant- Critique of Judgment (Analytic of Aesthetic Judgment)

Listening to:
The Very Best of Macy Gray- Sweet Baby ft Erykah Badu


* Nonage: Coined by Kant as not of age, term used to describe the thinkers before the Enlightenment (very loose paraphrase)
