3978234 dolars

In my ethics class, we study different moral norms. One of which is Utilitarianism. This moral norm stands by the statement, "The greatest good for the greatest number". We discussed in class how difficult it is to rate or scale gains and losses. The great philosophers of the 18th century agreed. In an attempt to make things easier, they came up with a unit to measure losses (hedons), and gains (dolars).

Losses, or hedons, would count as things like anger, sadness, illness, grief, etc.

Dolars would be things like joy, contentment, satisfaction, and so on.

My day today, for some weird reason, consisted of a lot of dolars. It started super early (work at 7am). I wasn't too happy about that at first, but things started to look up. My manager and I cleaned the whole store 'cause a scary inspector lady was going to come in, either today or tomorrow. It was refreshing! Also made my shift go by incredibly fast.

I got off at 11am, the whole day ahead of me. So I decided to make a little visit to Goh Ballet Studio. I talked to them about the adult program and watched the advanced class for a bit. Gosh, they were incredible graceful and breathtakingly beautiful. There was this one guy though...he was wearing awfully tight spandex and he had a really obvious and funny looking tan on his legs - I'm guessing from wearing normal length shorts outside of ballet. Anywho, it's exciting to think that in either July or September, I'll be in that same room, looking silly but having the time of my life.

I then went home and took the most refreshing nap EVER. I love naps. Especially in my room, mid-day, when the sun is shining through my windows. I woke up and my whole family was home, in one room too! This is a very rare occassion. It was kinda nice :) Oh! And my mom mentioned that she wants to go on a cruise next year!! So far, but we never travel! This is so exciting!

After eating, I lounged around, waiting to head back out to watch a movie. The sun was going down. My room faces the sunset so the lighting is always so warm in my room during that time. I love it!

Anyways, I don't even know what I'm blogging about anymore hahah. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm good. I'm alone but no longer lonely, you know what I mean? I'm starting to realize that I can function on my own. I'm also beginning to like myself more. I am content.
