I get some of my best reflection done on the train.



I just wanted to jot down here an incredibly interesting thing we discussed during Philosophy and Religion Club-

All elements are made inside burning stars. The core of the stars start with hydrogen which burns into helium which then burns into carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, etc..  The last element created (as to what I recall) is iron. Once the star creates too much iron the star erupts into a supernova-the elements inside are dispersed throughout the entire universe.

Everything comes from the stars. That means that we are, quite literally, stardust.

Just a quickie-a real quick quickie at that.

Who first calling the ancient Greek religion a mythology?
I'll look it up Tuesday when I have virtually no classes.

My favorite class, by far, this semester is Intro to Philosophy. No matter what my major is, I would love to minor in this subject. Everything we talk about is so stimulating and interesting- all I can say is that I love it. LOVELOVELOVELOVE LOVE IT.

My homework assignment was to think about 'what is thought?' And really, that's a very complex question. A thing so simple that we do every moment of every day-and we don't even know what it is. How would you explain it? If you know anything about ontology (another thing we talked about in class)-how would you categorize it?



Otherwise..
My other classes aren't bad.
I'm ticked that the people I meet are all commuters and I have no one to really hang out with on campus yet.

I dunno, I just feel shy here. Blech.

Later.
