the lovely thing about a logic exam

[cimorene]

--is that the formal discipline of logic is just a very ritualized description of the way logic actually works. if you have the problem set, and you have a brain which is not too dusty with disuse, you can probably figure it out. having read most of the required reading helps even more. i finished a few minutes early, even. unfortunately real life can't work this way: you have all the pieces, you have a brain, et voila, you also have the correct answer. (then again, perhaps 'having all the pieces' is the rub.)

got another paycheck, so less guilt for purchases made two weeks ago. this icon makes me happy.
