It came to about one o'clock today and it was over, I managed to finish my philosophy exam (three hours long). Ok.... so why the rave about this er-no? Well I gave up on the subject in about January as I was told not to argue with the teachers of the subject.

I thought that was the point of philosophy, and there I was having a ban on my mouth in the class.

I missed most of the classes since then, when I was asked I said I couldn't be bothered and that I was concentrating on my other classes as they were more important.

Yesterday came and I was to try and complete the impossible. I thought about what I could do so I persuaded the philosophy expert of the class to come and teach me the whole year in six hours.

I listened. I payed attention and I learnt a hell of a lot.

Utilitarianism - Done
Kant - Done
Descartes - Done
Euthanasia - Done.

I went today with confidence. I didn't really think about passing or doing that well, as I had given up on it in January. However, I managed to answer all the questions.


I don't care what my grade is now. I am proud of myself and what I have actually learnt, some serious knowledge.

That was fun. Apart from the moderator that followed me to the loo and watched me take a whizz.

I take it as knowledge that I sat the exam. Also the original quote was in latin I think, 'cogito ergo sum'. Which was translated 'I think therefore I am'.

We just think he said it. I don't like him anyway. Pointless arguments.

Are you sure you actually sat the exam or did you just think you were sitting it? And did Descartes really say 'I think therefore I am' (albeit in French), or do we just think he said it?

Stick it in and turn it? Then stick in another and twist that.

I hope so to.

Philosophy is about points of view. How the hell they can silence your opinion in such a class and still have the gaul to call it philosophy is beyond me. Absolutely criminal. I hope you get a good result, just to stick the knife in.
