I'm so glad I can put "Philosophy" behind me from now on. Never will I ever be dumm enough to take up another philosophy module. Over my dead body.
I think Philosophers are pretty amazing people. What they do is to discuss about stuff where there is no definite answer as yet (How to be moral? What is the true nature of the mind? Can all things be defined?), and what they take on themselves is just to criticise the works of others, put forth their own arguments, and the process just repeats itself. No answer is ever uncovered. What is their goal in life? I seriously have no idea. The whole thing about philosophy, in my opinion, is a major in critical writing. Ha. For the record, i'm not saying that philosophers do useless things; rather the critical skills they possess are indeed admirable.. Otherwise there won't be people majoring in philosophy right? And the won't be PhD (doctor of Philosophy) right? Right.
I think my examiner is one scheming guy. The final exam from the Philosophy module is a 20 MCQ paper. Sounds easy? Nah. Especially when you have to crack your brain to decipher the choices... such as this one: "Some people believe that unless there is no all-powerful god, everything else will be uncertain." It is when the examiner employs multi-negatives (worse than double-negative: "i ain't got no...") with words like "unless", "no", "uncertain", all in one sentence. And this is ONLY one out of 20 questions. Gosh. Traumatising indeed. Damn. Hope I can change the answer key to MY answers... den i'll get an A for it. Yeah. Dream on.
Hmm.. One more paper to go and I'm losing my drive to press on. Maybe I'm being too complacent. I have done fairly well for my CAs anyway. Why should I put in as much effort in this as the rest of my modules? Well, time is not a excuse. I have 5 days till my next paper, and there aren't alot of stuff to mug. It's open-book after all. Sigh. Don't want to study anymore.
Oh, just realised that I have to vote on Polling Day. So cool. It's my first time sia. Hahah.
