Hello class! My name is Amy Erickson. I am me. I am a girl. There is nothing much to tell. I like things like oil painting, trashpicking, cottagecheeseating, and gunfighting. I am usually pretty nice to new strangers like you all and I've only needed a muzzle one or two times in the past year. I am a recovering coffee addict. Do not invite me out for coffee. I just found a beard hair (that wasn't mine) in the keyboard.
Three things on Western Thought
1. Goal: I want to get an A. Who doesn't? Nobody. We all need A's to stay here on scholarship. This is an obvious goal, and a common one, but it is one of my few goals in here as I am a simple person. I plan to study nightly, read all the reads, write all the writes, and try to impress Ms. Blocksome with my ingenious theorizing brain.*
2. Hope: Someday when I am sitting in a cafe with the company of the erudite, I want to be able to impress one with my (appearingly) intricate knowledge of philosophy. In other words, I hope to be just a percentage more cultured by the end of the semester. The cultured are fun to talk to. I want to be fun to talk to. I want you to talk to me.
3. FEAR: Them longest paper ah eva did write was dun only four pages. This is my confession to all of you and I ask you not to judge me terribly stupid by it. I am afraid of this 8 page paper in the way a small child is afraid of an oncoming barge. It's just very large and I haven't written many papers and I don't know how to expand that far upon anything for 2000 words.

I suppose I should say something in regards to my own personal philosophy. In Zen, a wise man says nothing. I therefore say nothing, for I aspire to be a wise man. I have tried on quite a bit of other philosophies for size but I am too small for all of them. At the end of the day, once the illusion of thoughts has fallen through, all one has is silence and their dinner.
Also.
It is unbelievably cool we get to meet in the Nelson Atkins for three class periods. I love that place so much. I want to work there. I look forward to applying my philsophy homework to an art museum.

Sincerely,
Amy
