More like fauxcisons, amiright?
Poor puns aside, at noon I started the coin flipping. I would have started this morning, but I was so damn tired I couldn't even bring myself to give up deciding things. Lazily going along with habits (or going along with the destiny, hmmmmm?!) is so much easier than trying to remember what you decided Heads meant.

12:00=> Heads eat, tails work => Heads => Heads pizza, tails pasta => Heads
Only problem with this is that is there are only two slices of pizza left, so inevitably I'll be eating the pasta, so I suppose all I've done is delay things a bit.
12:05 => Heads movie, tails surf web => caught coin, flipped it onto hand, fell off onto bed, tails (curses.)
12:57 => heads research, tails eat more => completely missed catching the coin, fell on bed, tails.
1:22 => heads movie, tails keep surfing => caught the coin, flipped it on my hand, heads. Huzzah!
So day one is pretty much done. It stops after 1:22 because I watched a 2 hour movie, surfed the web for an hour, and then fell asleep. Now I've eaten and have to get on to homework, which all must be done, free will to fight it or not.

My life is reeeeally dull.
1:15 => heads chicken sandwich, tails cheese sandwich => tails.
So then I got downstairs and they were serving regular chicken, so I was like, aaaw snap, I will be eating chicken anyway! But then it was jerked chicken, which is really spicy so I avoided it like tonight's homework.
I don't think I've made any other flips today because I've just been in my room for most of the afternoon.

So I got into an interesting discussion after class with my philosophy teacher. I brought up the whole "predetermined" idea behind a coin flip. I asked her why there isn't a whole group of determinists out there who live by the flip of a coin or the roll of a die. Her answer was basically that it was already predetermined that I would flip the coin in the first place. If I was going to leave a coin flip to fate, I should technically flip a coin to see if fate thought I should flip the next coin and so on and so on until my brain shorts out. It lasted two days, and was actually kind of tedious. It was a bit fun to see my decisions made for me, but at times it was annoying because I had to surf the web for an hour before I could watch my movie, which while it doesn't sound terrible, it was just a bit boring.
