Tomorrow I am John Locke

Tomorrow I am John Locke. I will go to school with white collar shirt and black cloak and discuss the validity of empiricism, the proper role of the government, and why there should be religious toleration.
A freshman who had been at my middle school asked me how many "projects" not including essays I have for school, and I was about to say "none!" when I realized... my my old standards nearly every day we have projects due. The above mentioned historical personality project, the English scene presenting project, the English world literature research project, the biology (do labs count?) writeup, the math additional assessment (do some multi variable calculus problems that take up half a page with my small handwriting count?).
Hmm... and now it is 12:14 and I wish so much that I could go to bed right now... oh how perfect it would be. But instead I must study for a math quiz...2 hrs... maybe 3... : (
A bunch of seniors got into good colleges like Stanford and UPenn and Georgetown and someone probably Yale... hope?

3 bouts of protest:

How did the Lockeing go?

Did you end up doing anything fun and exciting with tabula rasa and such? I just realized that I didn't see you at all yesterday.

Oh it was great ^^ I told Charles he couldn't kill Voltaire because Voltaire was created by god and thus had the natural right to life; taking that away is against god's will.

I used a full sheet with a three dimensional-tilted light grayish box labeled "tabula rasa" with an arrow pointing to it "your own personal tabula rasa for synthesizing ideas".
