DPoSED Experiment: Day Three

Today was the last day of Logic class for the week, and today's class was a bit less unnerving than yesterday's was (first class jitters might be a factor, despite it being the second day).  I made the decision today that I'm going to sit in a different seat every class; a very simple exercise to help oneself adjust to paradigm shifts.  This is actually not an original idea, to be perfectly honest, as the concept was originally proposed by my eleventh grade hippy English teacher.  I have to say, despite the holes in her brain from the LSD, she was actually pretty good at getting us to think outside the norm.  And so I'll see if I can manage with sitting somewhere new every day.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll learn something from it.
The lesson itself was a simple one, though I'm beginning to delve deeper into arguments and their form; this weekend requires me to pick apart arguments and diagram them in terms of what premises relate to which sub-conclusions and how the whole picture whittles down to the main conclusion.  I'm a tad nervous about it, as it does not look easy in the least, but I'm sure I'll be fine.  In the end, it's really just math, right?
In an effort to step away from the decidedly blah feeling that gets imposed by abnormal-lower-garments Wednesday, I went the opposite direction and wore my Dereon Royale Strap sneakers, possibly some of the most obnoxious shoes in my closet.  Given that I don't really have a lot that goes with neon green, I opted for my Green Lantern shirt and hoped for the best. Former-raver James was the first to comment on them, pretty much saying "I like your style." Next up was Plant Two's head of Quality, Anita, who stopped mid-sentence to say, "Those are pretty wild.", next was Fred, who didn't say so much about the shoes as the whole ensemble, "You look like the real Green Lantern!  Or like someone who plays for the Boston Celtics..." and, lastly, was of course Ash, "Why?"
The work day ended with me being the One Break Wonder, as I was somehow forgotten for two of the three breaks today... yeesh.
