Asile 23

Asile 23-French Philosophy (Modern that is)

Same great taste, NOW 35% less fat! 100% Real Fruit Juice! Completely frustrating.
Taking a modern french philosophy class seemed like a great idea. I like french culture. I can read (some) french. I love the existential thought and the theory of absurdity. However, I have never taken an actual philosophy course what-so-ever. No intro just classes that requiered you think in a philisophical way. Plus I've read most of the big blue Aristotle book. Still I'm so out of my league. I was expecting a large class where we would LEARN about the philosophy of modern france, but no, no Nannett, I'm in a small class that's based on discussion of essays we read. There are, I'd say about seven people in the class and then myself. Can't really hide in a small room as we all sit around a roundish table, now can I? I might get through it though. I may be able to survive the semester as long as I concentrate. Yet then I also have another philisophical type class (Utopias and Dystopias) and a scientific writing class to deal with. Add to that gym, and a class on how movies follow the Aristotelian points of theatre and the two plays I have to work on as well as my thesis. This semester will be the death of me. But I'll leave this school as I entered it. Kicking and screaming!
