Magic fun schoolbus of the ages

Excellent. Apparently the investigative services unit in the prison discovered that some files had been put onto the computer in the sheet metal/machine shop classroom. Their attention has been diverted toward the Prison University Project but I honestly don't know whether it was them or us. We have a couple of guys who teach in CAD, and maybe they bring in model files now and then to help teach the types of material that the guys ask for. It is possible one of our guys has been bringing in the occasional file. And if so, it is possible that we are in some amount of trouble (I don't know how much). I am sure nothing nefarious is going on, but internal investigative units in prisons tend to be pretty edgy. I mean, for all they know we're bringing in models in separate files which can be combined to produce a magic skeleton key or something. Bullshit, I know, but I'm just trying to see it from their end. Anyway, hopefully that won't turn into a big old nightmare. We'll see!

It's an interesting final semester in school. You know, I realized today that I kind of dominate in two of my discussion sections (metaphysics, philosophical logic). One of those "does anyone besides Mr. Droid care to comment?" kinds of things. I suck at the actual philosophizing part of those classes, but they both have a lot of formal theory. I'm not the best in the world at those, but I don't suck at them, and that's exciting, so I don't shut up. Then there's Wittgenstein. Definitely not formal. I suck balls and am an eager listener.

Also? It's really hard to stay alert in a 4.5 hour solid block of classes.

Anyway, let's get to bed so we can get up early and go back to prison! And then a funeral! Meanwhile writing two papers! I will spend spring break sucking my thumb curled up in a corner.
