raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (philosophy - begins with wonder)
[personal profile] raven
I have spent most of the last two days in my windowseat, watching the clouds drift by overhead, watching the way the sunshine falls on the leaves in the tree below, really not doing enough reading about philosophical visions of the relationship between God and humanity. Instead I have been doing this:



You are all very much free to disown me now. In my defence, it wasn't my idea, and I'm a finalist, but personally I would disown me, so.

That is brilliant...but then again I have been revising Kant ALL day, so I am probably not completely objective.

You're doing a Kant question? You're braver than me. For Ethics?

Um, yeah for ethics, and you are the second person that's said that to me, and now I have FEAR! Maybe it wasn't a wise choice...

Ages since I studied any Kant (religious studies A level) - but the image is surely just about defensible as a high risk strategy in Oxford finals.

Please to not be tempting me with that. Please don't.

*sporfles* OHGOD. I am too caffeinated and have JSTOR articles coming out of my ears and am a bit insane today in any case. I think that just tipped me over into the last bit of philosophy-induced madness.

You're such a freak. I say this with love. I am incredibly tired and have been making notes with titles like "Big Gay Nymphos" all afternoon. Now I'm going to learn some quotations from Hamlet and if I'm very lucky I might get to colour-code some index cards.

I have no life.

*pets you* I am such a freak, yes. I entirely agree.

Me? Mad like TOAST? I respectfully disagree, except I don't at all, you're absolutely right.

You don't know me, but I just have to thank you for the community link--I just spent a very happy twenty minutes giggling to myself inappropriately in a public computer lab.

โ€œFind two texts in which the same event is given a different โ€˜spinโ€™. Write a commentary discussing the way linguistic choices contribute to the construction of a textโ€™s ideological stance.โ€

Argh!

What texts are you using? I did do this, but it's easier to show you how I did it than explain it, if you know what I mean...

Bits from Guardian and Daily Fail. Will email them to you xx

I have received them, but am a little pressed for time. Um. I was thinking, would it be easier if I gave you my thoughts in person? Because I haven't the time right now to write them up, but could certainly read them with you and potentially say helpful things.

In person would be super, but only if you can spare the time from f****s. I really don't want to increase your stress!

The plan also has an advantage in that I get to see you, so. :) Come and visit me at some point? Today I am running errands liek woah, so perhaps call me later?

And that is now stuck to my 'philosophy odds and ends' folder. (coincidentally, am trying to comprehend Kant so that can give coherent presentation, oh dear. coherence is not anything I have ever been known to possess, but Kant is maybe sort of interesting?)

Kant. Ohgod I hate Kant. I am so sorry you are being subjected to him.

One of my revision sheets is made up entirely from lolcat lines and misquotes from Powerthirst.

"Fundamentalism--it's like a fighter jet made out Bibles!"

"Humean cat disbelieves causality."

"INVISIBLE LOGIC"

and, at the bottom, in very small letters,

"I Kant do this any more."

Heh.

Though I must say my limited experiences with Kant involve no lols (except prehaps the tutor's lol read all of the Critique of Pure Reason for tomorrow's tutorial)

I hate the Critique of Pure Reason SO MUCH. I feel your pain.
