School is corrupting my mind

school is corrupting my mind. I guess this can be a good thing, or it may not. it also may or may not be a bad thing that this particular class is making me crazy. Here are a few examples how...

-I probably checked skyward 15 times this weekend to see if the multiple choice grades were up...
-My mind is only thinking in terms of analysis, proposals and logical fallacies
-My brother spent what should have been his homework time writing a proposal of how homework should not continue because it is a total waste of time and doesn't allow you to get enough sleep. He's in third grade. All I could think about was if he included all aspects of a proposal and how ironic that he was writing one just like I had to do the other day.
-Whenever I am watching a show or listening to an ad, I always think, "what rhetorical device are they using and how is it persuading me?" I have to continually test my mind to make sure I still remember how to analyze correctly
-I have been accusing everyone about how their reasoning is a logical fallacy. I have told my brothers multiple times, told my parents, and even accused a doctor of fallicious reasoning. Needless to say that the last two weren't necessarily happy at my newfound knowledge (especially the doctor who stopped the argument right there because she couldn't think of anything else to say)
-I have been noticing logical fallacies in ads as well

all i can think about is analyzing analyzing analyzing. It's driving me crazy. It's like that really annoying song that gets stuck in your head the entire day... oh ya, I have also been seeing how many times people say "really" and if it adds or detracts to their sentence.


Oh ya... this is totally off topic to my blog theme but the other day I heard a radio add from trader joes saying that we should give out frozen spaghetti and meatballs for a halloween treat, instead of candy. He was actually serious about it! What has this world come to.

  1. What's wrong with spghetti and meatballs?! Well... allow me to explain it in terms that you can understand. I'm going to need some crayons... Purple divided by blue plus black times red to the power of orange divided by green equals pink.

    (If the above didn't make sense. Right, you are. I agree, it makes little sense; that is, the dispersing of spaghetti and meatballs.)
