Email to my mother.

I am really tired, I just finished my first college paper, and I don't feel like writing anything more tonight.
So I decided I will just copypasta what I wrote in an email to my mother tonight.

Love you too Mom. It's very late, if you didn't notice the sending time of this email. I just finished two readings for school:
My 2 philosophy courses are proving to be quite the nuisances.
My Asian behavior course had a marginally interesting reading, and only 16 pages.
My morality and the law course is growing quite annoying because the "teacher" is just a law major. She is quickly turning the class from a philosophy focus to a constitutional law focus. I'm kind of pissed.
Anyway, those readings are still interesting, but very long (56 textbook pages total of very dry law stuff this weekend), and they haven't been loading properly to Blackboard (where teachers post assignments online,etc.), so I haven't gotten access until tonight. I spent all day today doing calculus and then philosophy. I think my response paper turned out quite nicely, so that's good. I wasn't planning to, but I put a lot of effort into the paper, even though it is only for a completed/not completed grade.
Between calculus and philosophy, I grabbed some dinner with Luke, Chris, and Liz. It was cool, but I'm worried Chris has a thing for me now.
Anyway, it sucks that the weekend is over, but at least this will only be a 4 day week. I am still not sure if I am coming home this weekend, but I hope to.

I didn't get to talk to Matt today, but that's alright, we have both been busy, and after he initiated the conversation saturday night, I can't help but feel good about our... 'unrelationship'. that's what i decided to call it
I still think about him all the time. But it's ok. It's not distracting me from experiencing all that Philly has to offer. I am planning to go to center city with Chris and Lucas sometime this week. I am staying on top of my Homework.
And I will meet Matt someday. If Windy really does come through with this -SNiGS- get together, then we will finally get to meet in person, face-to-face. And Windy doesn't make false promises or promises that he can't keep. It'll happen.

It's good to hear that Thom's doing well, I try to talk to him almost every day through skype.

I miss you all a lot, hope to see you this weekend.
Emma

I will add two things:

1) In my readings for my philosophy course (the asian behavior studies course), I have come across some famous philosophers' names. I have been meaning to look them up and learn more about them. I will list some here so I don't forget again. (there are plenty that I have heard of, too, but I still want to learn more about them)
Bertrand Russell
Aristotle
Plato
Socrates
Thales
Kant
Epicurus
Plotinus
Spinoza
Kierkegaard
Nietzsche

And I want to read up on
John Locke
Demosthenes
because they are Peter and Valentine's nom-de-plumes in the Ender's Game Quartet.

2) I am planning on recording more videos for youtube, and I made a list of songs to try, and I don't want to forget them, so I will put them here and check back on them when I need them.

*indicates a strong preference

Possible Song choices:
Elton John - Tiny Dancer
Mario - Let Me Love You
Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are*

Norah Jones -
Sinking Soon
Sunrise
Those Sweet Words
Come Away With Me
Don't Know Why*
What Am I to You?*

John Hiatt- Have A Little Faith in Me*
(from Benny & Joon)

Maybe something by Vanessa Carlton?

(I wish I had access to a piano. I took it for granted in back home)
