Philosophy parties
The other night we had a gathering at Ted's, and it occured to me that philosophy students are an unusual bunch. To give you an idea of what I mean, here is a brief list of happenings on this eve:
A) Someone passes out from excessive drinking.
B) You have a lively discussion about the content of an essay someone wrote last term.
C) Multiple people "crash" for the night, and sleep on the floor/couch/spare futon.
D) You discuss how excited you are about the (annual) philosophy conference you plan on attending 9 months from now, 1300 km away.
E) There is a pillow fight.
F) Before leaving in the morning, you borrow a textbook from a class you had been unable to take.
G) You spend the bus ride home bemoaning the fact that you didn't take the class. Because the textbook is just that fascinating.
