My course The Analytic Tradition has pushed me into the world of Frege and his work "Sense and Reference." His pondering here has sprouted from a study of logic, which can also be understood as the laws of truth, and brought him to a place where the traditional correspondence theory of truth must be torn down and revealed as invalid.
I find it remarkable that when I study a philosopher who makes sense his business, I feel as though I am reading more nonsense than I can find in Lewis Carroll. However, after three weeks of mildly extensive study on the writings of Frege, I have realized that Frege's work structurally resembles that of Lewis Carroll. I feel I have broken the code and can begin to decipher.

Plans for May
There is news update involving my brother's wedding date. I may be leaving from Green Bay on the 19th of May. This would be excellent in that I would not have to edit my finals week and might deal with the last days stress-free. Unfortunately this places me in De Pere for Marty's 21st birthday. No matter what comes of my departure date and time, the reality remains the same; I AM GOING TO TURKEY!
I don't remember being more excited about a trip. I know I was out of my pants with anticipation for London/Scotland but this is something of another sorts. My oldest brother is getting married and my whole family will be there along with some cousins and the like. I'm simple beside myself.
