Day 2

The day began like any other; wake up, shower, breakfast, then class. So my second class of the day is Critical Thinking. Its my least favorite class so it's a chore to actually show up and pay attention... I usually don't pay attention though... Anyways, so we are talking about fallacies right now. For those of you who don't know what a fallacy is, it's: A statement or an argument based on a false or invalid premises. Pretty simple. We continued to talk about the different types of fallacies and we got to the inconsistent fallacy. This means that it is a fallacy if one premise is not consistent with another. My teachers example was that he had a friend in 1974 that was very upset about Roe v. Wade and the legalization of abortion. He said, "I'm 100% pro-life!" Then they got on the topic of the Vietnam war and he thought that they should just nuke those damn Vietnamese! Then he said that he was inconsistent and was committing a fallacy. They are two separate arguments!!! You cant say that if someone is pro-life then you have to be don't kill anything. That just doesn't make sense. So I raised my hand and told the professor, "Isn't weird that you are comparing 2 different arguments and yet are using the same terminology? Pro-life is meant for abortion and not everything in the world." I thought it was a pretty good argument! Then he decided to tell me that he wasn't going to try and convince me and that I could think that. That is when a lot of other students started to agree with me. The began to say, "Yea he is right." or "The terminology isn't right here." It made me feel like a genius to prove a college teacher wrong. I'm glad that happened.
The rest of my day went on without anything else going on. At 5:30 I decided to go play soccer. Now I am in no way a great soccer player but i can hold my own. I do this drill where I kick the ball really high then trap it. So on my 1st try it kind of gets away from me and I go to trap it with my foot. That's when I slip on my left foot and flip onto my back. All of a sudden I hear this laughing coming from the parking garage near the soccer field, and its these ghetto kids laughing at me for falling. I'm not the kind of person to feel embarrassed so I laugh myself and tell them that they should come play with me and see if they do any better. Of course they run away and my plan worked perfectly.
The rest of the day was very uneventful as well. I worked out, cycled for 20 minutes, ate dinner and then watched American Idol and Mythbusters. It was a pretty average day but that's not so bad sometimes.
