nitevibe party
I went to Club six on Wednesday to shake my booty to the top 10 djs in sf. One of the first things that I noticed was that there were no creepy men invading the personal spaces of unsuspecting victims. Back in Milan, I loved going to clubs, but I hated fending off guys. They’re just so…persistent.
Anyway, I had a great time with my friends (and dancing is a really fun way to burn calories), and I also had a chance to pounce on some old friends I haven’t seen in a long time. Though, in an unfortunate accident, a guy accidentally drenched my back with his beer. That was the, ‘ok, I smell like a frat party, so I’m ready to go home now’ point.
The midterm for ‘moral reasoning’ was just returned. Since I really enjoyed the class, it was not too difficult to do well. We just finished up reading Keyes’ ‘Facing Evil’. His big thing was that evil results from people inadvertently causing evil because of their character. He felt it fair to punish those who cause evil. This argument stemmed from our (false and hopeful) belief that if we are good people, we will lead good lives. Those who cause evil deserve to be punished, even if they didn’t intend to do it. The idea was to analyze our own character and mitigate our vices so that the world can be a better place. His writing style is wordy and difficult (like most philosophy) but he has interesting ideas. Now we’re moving onto another ‘evil’ book that is focused on understanding the perpetrator of the evil.
Been doing interviews here and there. As much as I hate blackboard coding (it makes me really nervous), I tend not to trust companies that don’t somehow test my technical skills. I have encountered many articulate students who are mediocre at thinking like a programmer. Though the ability to communicate is very very important, it makes me wonder what other people might be working in the company.
