\"Does language make me think the way I do?\"

July 13th, sometime very early in the morning. A quote: "OMG! >laughing< I was pretty happy." ...doesn't that just say all. =)

And, damn it all, I've got to get up in two hours or so to go to the Renaissance Festival. I don't mind this marathon doing things with friends business, but when times overlap that's about when i get concerned. Going against the advice from Mr. Lincoln (which I will probably never do again) I don't think I'm going to try for any sleep. It's... just easier this way. Nor am I going to try massive amounts of caffeine, for we were recounting stories earlier tonight and I now recall the unpleasant side effects (read: everything sucks).

These questions are listed on the back of my Philosophy course book:

Does religion give my life meaning?
How do I know that God exists?
What does science tell me about the world?
Which should I believe: Darwin or Genesis?
How is my mind connected to my body?
What do I know?
Does language make me think the way I do?
Who am I?
Why are my emotions important to me?
How should I feel about abortion?
What's the meaning of death?
How should I think about violence and terrorism?
How does racism affect my life?
Why shouldn't I be selfish?
Can there be sexual equality?
What's the right thing for me to do?
I like it, but is it art?
Am I free to choose what I do?
What is fair?
How should I make money?

If all goes as I'm currently expecting it to... I'm going to love this class.
