Thanks

It is near thanksgiving and I have recently been thinking about what I am thankful for. It is impossible for me to pick just one classmate to thank. Almost everyone I know has helped me out in some way before. It could be something simple like giving me something to eat after a swim practice and something to drink during math class, or something a bit more complicated such as helping with chemistry when I don't understand something, or giving me two minute acting lessons to help me with a Brit. Lit. project. I am sincerely grateful for everything you and my other friends have done to help me get through school. Thanks.

Improvements in class?

I think that our philosophy class is running very smoothly and I don't have anything to suggest to change it.

Voltaire and Camus are voting for...

I feel as though neither Voltaire nor Camus would vote in this election.
Based on Candide, it seems as if Voltaire wants everyone to focus on themselves and making themselves better people. At the end of the book, He Voltaire stated that we should all tend our own gardens and focus on the individual rather than the group. Voltaire wouldn't want to vote for anyone that might affect that philosophy.
Camus wouldn't vote because he seems to think everything about life is rediculous. I don't think he would want to "waste" his time voting when everything would end up the same way.
