I just realised that there are actually short papers to write for Philo. If readers think Im a real slacker for Philo, u guys are darn rite. I really hate it that Im neglecting Philo cos I really love the subject, tutorials, lectures etc. Even the pictures (they look GREAT!!) drawn by the lecturer... I really wish to put in more effort in Philo but the fact that 4 other modules exist dun give me much of a chance. It sounds like some excuse for me to procrastinate for Philo, but I can say with every inch of my soul that I really dun have enough time for things. Its probably time to cut down my social life (which really hardly seems existent anymore), further..
Well its pretty obvious why Philo is taking the brunt of being neglected, cos Im not gonna major it and its more of fulfilling the graduation requirements and my interest. Its pretty irresponsible to say that but that is the case. Im pretty sure that 5 modules is too much, well at least for a 1st semester cos everyone (well at least for myself) is just settling in. 4 is a good balance. However, most ppl wont wanna take 4 cos they wanna graduate on time. Time pressure stifles education!!!
Anyway Im getting frantic over Philo and this notion is not contributing to my aim of an immaculate record. Nonetheless, despite it supposedly being the least of my 5 modules, I shall try to give it my utmost best. After all, Im driven by interest for this subject. Despite the book tested resembling "Othello" (probably cos of the dialogues and the history behind it), it cant be analysed Prac Crit style (Shucks!!). Gotta think further.... Somehow I have never doubted my potential in thinking far and wide, but dunno y leh, Philo just doesnt seem to resonate the same wavelength with me. Maybe its because I think too slowly.. Anyway, I gotta remember to ask Red tutor what the heck Im supposed to do for the "short" (this adjective is correct is one considers 900 words short) paper...
If Socrates was around, he will probably be talking to me now. (PS: Its really sad that ppl did not understand him then. I have my doubts about him being a really intelligent/ insightful man but somehow his qns/dialouges really set ppl thinking. Maybe the ppl then really hated to think about new ideas and contradictions; this supposition probably still remains true for most people)
