Catch Up

So there was a lot of talk about this being a "study blog" but then out of no where I realized that on top of studying I have to do stuff. That being the case, here is my brief run down of what class has entailed for the past two weeks.

STATS
PROFESSOR
Yo. So this is statistics. WITH LINES!!!!!!

ME
Cool beans.

PROFESSOR
You better start planning your research project because it'll have to tie into your senior thesis!

ME
.... dude ....

LOGIC
PROFESSOR
So this is how logic works!

ME
Wow, this looks a lot like math.

PROFESSOR
Yep. This is where math got the idea *mumbled* sort of...

MORALITY AND MEDICINE
PROFESSOR
So this field pertaining to how we approach life in general? Guess what you guys. Sometimes, it TOTALLY pertains to religion and higher thought.

ME
This seems familiar.

PROFESSOR
Hope you enjoy group work because there's a group project worth 25% of your grade. Here they are now!

GROUP MEMBERS
Yo. Hope you like suicide.

ME
I think I may learn to embrace it.

ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
PROFESSOR
Here's some stories about Socrates! What's a common theme in them?

ME
Socrates is kind of an obnoxious dick?

PROFESSOR
Well, yes. But WHY?

ME
He asked a whole lot of questions and forced people to recognize that their beliefs were based on irrationality.

PROFESSOR
Exactly. And that's what I want all of you to be able to both do and value. I want you to always be questioning what people really know and what makes them think they know it.

RANDOM CHRISTIAN GIRL
But in relation to this really vital and interesting problem for all those who prescribe to most forms of monotheism, I feel like at some point you just can't question god.

PROFESSORS INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
What did I JUST SAY. YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT AND YOU NOW LOSE THE GAME.

PROFESSOR
OK then I suppose... If anyone wants to see me after class I'll be in my office weeping over the acceptance standards of this school.

EPISTEMOLOGY
PROFESSOR
Epistemology is the important study of various jerks who threw ducks in the jet engines of mankind's belief and walked away from the explosion giggling.

ME
I simultaneously am fascinated and infuriated.

PROFESSOR
Yeah, that's pretty normal for science majors.

BIOMEDICAL ETHICS
PROFESSOR
So this field pertaining to how we approach life in general? Guess what you guys. Sometimes, it TOTALLY pertains to religion and higher thought.

ME
This seems familiar.

PROFESSOR
I don't care what your opinions on group work are because this class is completely reliant on how well you stand up on your own!

ME
On second thought, maybe it's not that familiar after all...
