I thought it was bad when I threw up (Friday?) from eating bad crab... I was wrong. At least after I threw up I felt relief. 

Since getting home I've thrown up a few more times, but there's not much left in my tummy

. My tummy's empty now so it's even worse (

Hi.. I'm a ♀ ; not a ♂

If only they had a big L for loser XP

Days like today it's a really good thing I have a good thing going at Build-A-Bear or I don't know that I'd have much to stick around for. 

I did a paper over Peter Singer for Ethics and Society titled "Legal Rights vs. Ethical Responsibility". Basically Peter Singer believes people (especially those of us who are absolutely affluent [almost all Americans]) have an ethical responsibility to assist those who are living in absolute poverty. Without boring the hell out of you by going into further details (if you are curious, you could comment and I'd go into more detail) he has an argument referred to as "the obligation to assist". 

It says, if we can prevent something that is bad without sacrificing something of comparable significance, we ought to. Absolute poverty is bad. There is some absolute poverty we can prevent without sacrificing anything of comparable moral significance. Thus, we ought to prevent some absolute poverty. 

Simple as that. He then list five objections to his argument, then follows by disputing all the objections. 

The assignment was to take one of his arguments (or an argument of your own) and debate the two and say which is stronger. After checking with the professor that it was cool, I talked about two of his objections (take care of our own first & property rights) and argued that the obligation to assist was a stronger argument. 

A week and a half later it is graded... 

This paper clearly demonstrates a good understanding of the issues and arguments involved, and it puts forward solid arguments for your position. I think the addition of Kant's categorical imperative works well for you, though it's important to keep in mind that Singer is a utilitarian who (mostly) sticks to utilitarian arguments, so even though he and Kant might hypothetically come to the same conclusion they would do so for different reasons. That is, Singer isn't really employing the categorical imperative, even when it might seem like he is. At any rate, showing that your conclusion is supported by two different ethical theories can only strengthen your argument.    Grade : A

The more time that passed after I turned this in, the worse I felt about it. (That happen to anyone else??) Anyways, I was super relieved to check blackboard today and see an A and his comments. *HUGE sigh of relief!* Lol, now as long as I keep this up for the 3rd paper and the final I'll be good

So far, the only difference from being 19 to being 20 is that I've been freakin' sick the whole time I've been twenty. Uggghh. I felt a tickle in my throat Friday and thought it was nothing. Then Saturday I knew it was something and from the morning to evening it hit me full on switching from a little bitty ickiness to horribleness. I thought it was strep, but I went to the school student health services people and they tested me- negative. 

It was just a sore throat. Then Monday I began to get a cough too. Now it's a BAD cough and I have a lot of congestion which is resulting in a terrible pressure head ache My head feels like it's going to fucking pop from the pressure. 

I tried eating a piece of pineapple with dinner and the acid from the pineapple was excruciating because I've coughed my throat raw

I'm alive still!

Trey and I are doing really well We had our 1 year and 6 month anniversary on Tuesday! 

  (I turn 20, by the way )

Anyways, totally just found this website rdio.com. It flashed across the tv except it had /paramore attached so I was curious. They have a new album coming out soon. So I decided to check out a new One Republic cd called Native (Deluxe). I've only heard the first song, it's called "Counting Stars" &  I really like!  

I thought I'd explain my "house wife" pulse. So Trey’s Mom went out of town Sunday night/Monday morning and Trey’s Dad is working two jobs and Trey’s working a lot at the liquor store and Cara’s currently on duty meaning she’s working at Camp Robinson doing whatever her MOS is at range control. It’s great for her because she needs to save up money for her baby which is due in July.(Her name will be Demi) She’s on orders until June so yay for her because Demi’s dad is a dead beat and doesn’t really want to be involved in being in her life and helping financially (he’d rather party and mess with other girls... yeah, he’s a winner…) 

Anyways, she’d been getting rides to camp with Trey’s Dad and then one of the parents would pick her up when she got off since she doesn’t have a license much less a car. With their Mom out of town, Trey’s Dad busy with work, and Trey working no one was able to get her. So Trey’s Dad asked Tuesday if I’d pick her up and bring her home. He paid for gas and even let me stay an extra two nights (since normally I’m only allowed to stay over one night a week at the house). So I was down for it. 

She’d call when she was off and I’d come get her and then I’d chill at the house when Trey was at work and I took the trash out, did dishes, even ran to the grocery store to pick some things up that were needed. So the pulse was basically me joking around (I’d made the comment to Trey) that I felt like a house wife. I was picking the “kids” up and driving them around, doing house chores, doing the shopping lol. I didn't mind it since I was paid back for expenses and I got to stay over extra nights. Just figured I’d explain. Anyways, I think I’m going to try to make a separate post for additional stuff so this doesn’t turn into an uber long post.   :P 

So if you travel somewhere where there isn't phone service/reception which inhibits you from being able to call or text, does it also inhibit you from being able to use the internet to get on facebook as well? Or is the internet connection/reception different from the texting/calling service/reception?
