Well, this is it. I've gotten this far in my studies and I'm down to my last two exams in the second half of my fourth year: ARTS 301 (Humanities) and PHIL 200B (Western Philosophy 2). To show you exactly what I'm dealing with, let me explain how these are going to work.
The Humanities course (which I am still angry I have to take; it's meant as an introduction to things like history, philosophy and anthropology, and is intended to make sure students are well-rounded and know a bit about themselves. But half of my degree is in the humanities. Why not just make me take a math course? It'd be more exciting) consisted of ten multiple choice quizzes online, each with 45 questions. The exam is 100 of those questions. This means that I essentially have to study the entire bank of 450 questions. Seriously, are you kidding me? Fortunately, there's no possible way I can fail this course. I've calculated that I can pass by writing my name down and answering only one question correctly. With a bit of review there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to answer at least 70 of them correctly.
Then there's the philosophy course which I didn't know I had to take. A lot of it is continental philosophy (which involves more metaphysics as opposed to analytic or Anglo-American philosophy which is founded on logic and empiricism). I hate continental philosophy with the fury of a thousand suns. It just doesn't make any sense to me; like they're holding on to an old, obsolete way of thinking. But that's just my opinion; if you dig this kind of philosophy, I respect that. But I'm looking forward to getting this over and done with.
Then I'm going to set all the old homework I don't need anymore on fire. I know... I've worked so hard for it all, why get rid of it? I'd ask a different question: for what might I use it? Stroking my ego when I'm an old man and can no longer tell my butt from my face? Even though I'm finishing school, philosophy will always be a hobby I enjoy, and I'm going to continue reading and enjoying it throughout my life. Philosophy is ideas, and ideas are dynamic. They constantly change and we throw old ones out when we think up some new, better ones.
So, those are my plans for the next week. After that, who knows. We'll see!
