Thursday afternoon, july 30 I took my calculus 2 final and I know that I have not done as well as I could have. I should be proud of my performance on the three tests instea: 96, 88, 91. There are very many people who share spheres of interest with me. But I am perplexed: Why surround myself with people not at least like me if knowledge is only a means, not an end? Perhaps I show my superfluity by thinking of [u]purpose[/u]. It is as though I am trying to pin cause to an action.
