Self Control

After my Aristotle class this morning, I forced myself not to go buy a copy of Joyce's Ulysses. It was hard... so very, very hard.

After having had approximately 2.5 classes on Aristotle's theory of self-control in the Nicomachean Ethics, I felt it was time to use some of that newly acquired knowledge. But... why did it have to be for a book!?

If I don't have Ulysses by the end of the week, I'll be surprised... and really quite proud of myself.
