The bookstore is so unfair. It's so expensive. Some of my classics texts for phil are more than MEDICAL textbooks. Seriously. Somebody tell me the reason in that? Do you want me to be able to tell you the meaning of your life, or save it? Today I think I'd rather know more about the Heimlich than Hegel. It's so cramped in there with half the entire school deciding to buy "Feminist Thought" at the same time, I just gave up and came running home. I think there should be an illegal textbook downloading site. Forget the Beatles. I want Beauvoir.
And what HAVE I done? I'm taking Philosophy of Feminism (where the 2 men look very frightened, and the lack of any women philosophy teachers dictates that it's taught by a man..who looked very relieved to see me, as I was the only one wearing make-up.. and I'm pretty sure the only one wearing a bra..) Philosophy of Mind (where I'm the only one without a t-shirt that shows either the evolution of man or Homer Simpson) Philosophy of Science (ok, if we WERE to delve into this one.. Lets say I'm pretty sure I've touched more boobs than these guys) and my Descartes/Kant class which has the exact same people as my Greek class last semester. Oh yeah. And French. Where I'm more French than Mr. Yakimishyn, our painfully NOT French teacher.
With my poor math, I've figured out that even reading quickly.. I've got 4 hours of reading a day. Minumum. Plus assignments.
Shit.

I took Phil of Mind and Phil of Science last year... O'Connell for Mind (ask him about Gemini Squared if he's still around). Did Phil of Feminism last semester at U of C. Taking second order logic, existentialism, evidence/critical thought, contempt. ethics and kill vs. let die (advanced topics in ethics) this semester. Would love to trade notes with you some time. Will be up in Edmonton in the next few weeks. Hope your Christmas break was well spent. -Calgary RA
