Ontology and More

Ontology-- the study of being


inside my brain: the study of being here? there? over there?


i completely forgot that my purpose here in australia is to learn and not to party. [btw, im also not partying-- if anybody of you have been assuming that]


for the past two days, i have met two of the most amazing professors i will ever have. im completely amazed as to how they do not just ABSOLUTELY stop talking, and both of them are men okay. they just really keep asking questions and explaining theories... and people would just initiate and respond to it. and i would be just like, "what the hell are we talking about now?"



anyway, i am really having a hard time adjusting to the complexity of the classes that i chose. mainly because i have never had a background in International Studies, so every word that they say is truly foreign to me.

but if you think that this will break my spirits down... you are... completely... and utterly... CORRECT. hey, a famous person said that honesty is the best policy, right? so here i am telling you that it really is breaking my heart. its quite hard that you are the only person in the room who doesn't have any background on the topic, its harder that you are also the youngest.

but, and there is another but, i refuse to give up. i take this as a challenge.

i challenge myself to READ all the readings from top to bottom [not scan it], to participate in discussions even though half the time i cannot understand what they are talking about [cause of their accents], do all my papers, essays ever so willingly and very... PRETTY? i guess.

let me end this by quoting my favorite actor:

as barney [from HIMYM] says it-- CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
