"honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk...."

Car alarms are really annoying. I think that if one goes off we should be able to shoot at the car with our guns until it goes off.

I am taking Philosophy 120 and I find it rather worrisome that I have absolutely no idea what the hell the prof is talking about in class. I sit there trying to pick out the words I know, but it is like he has strung them together in sentences that are bass ackwards. I have no idea how to take notes. My notes consist of a few hastily scribbled Venn diagrams and the words:

"What the hell?"
"I have no idea what to write down."
"Oh My GOD!"

Maybe they think I have ADHD because of my inability to grasp Phil 120.
You are right Hammers...It is like a Studer class! And just like in Poli Sci 210 I have told myself not to panic, it will hopefully make sense by the end of the semester. With Poli Sci 210 I didn't get it until like February.

Phil 120 is nowhere the same galaxy as Studer.

Phil 120 makes perfect sense once you start to organize your thoughts rigorously and order them logically. Once you do that, Phil 120 turns out to be super easy.

Studer's lectures are are devoid of any organization or logic. It's like you are looking into Studer's head an random thoughts are flying about without any context, explanation, or logic attached to them. It's the very opposite of Phil 120.

I seriously have no idea how I managed to do as well as I did in Phil 315 . . . I seriously didn't learn a single thing in that class.

(PS: if you have questions about Phil 120, I can probably help. You might have preferred Phil 125 though—it's more practical.)

Hey Heather,

Which section are you in? I'm in the three hour Monday night class.

Heather said...

My class is from 1100-1220 Tuesday/Thursday.
I didn't pick the Monday night class because of NFL. Sad how my life revolves around sprits. I figure once I actually get a 'real' job I won't have such luxury.

Speaking of NFL what the hell is going on with the Minnesota Meltdown? And holy crap did New England play like crap...where is their secondary? Mistake after Mistake. I turned it off after the third quarter. brutal.

Okay enough of this...I'm off to my first Oilers game!! Good Times.

And by 'Sprits' I mean sports.

Hey Mustafa!!!

If you are still willing I may ask to meet up with you this week for some help. Can you email me and let me know what time might be good for you on Wednesday or Friday?? I will warn you, I will ask stupid questions and you will think I am a retard, but if you can handle that I can't think of another person who could help me like you could.
oh and apparently Phil 125 doesn't count towards my degree so it had to be Phil 120. Yick.
