Just finished my environmental chemistry midterm. I?ve never been as lucky as I have this semester. The most stressful was this week where I had 2 midterms. That?s it. Then I have one next week, and one after reading week. But I got assignments in between that I have to finish.
Anyway, my philo class is pretty cool. Mind-blowing to say the least. The prof is really interesting and a genius. I heard he proved some theory that no one had ever proved before. And he enjoys lecturing and doesn?t seem to ever get tired of talking. The only bad thing about that class is that I don?t know anyone. Actually, I don?t even recognize anyone. Haha. They all must be arts majors or in 3rd or 4th year.
The readings are hard though. They?re so bloody dense. Like you kinda get what they?re saying. But at the same time you don?t. The stuff I?m reading now is from a book called ?The Foundations of Arithmetic?. It?s 99% pure logic. So the prof starts talking about representations of numbers, directions of lines, sets, and theorems etc. And the whole class fell silent. It was funny.
And for people who may or may not be filled with angst at the moment, some philosophers think that metaphysical questions such as "What is love?, What is happiness?, Does God exist?, and Where is my soul?" are dumb. Simply because they can't be proven, and you can't even imagine what kind of evidence would solve the "problems" posed by these questions. So essentially, these questions have no answers because they are not legitimate questions to begin with. Interesting approach, I think, without resorting to more angsty existentialism.
I think Jack Nicholson playing the Sam character in ?The Departed? is a good choice. How did they translate ?Mo gan do? to ?The Departed? anyway? But yeah, what?s Mark Wahlberg?s character?
I just noticed that from 10 feet away, it?s easy to mistake Mark Wahlberg for Matt Damon. Haha. And what?s with Leo. He seriously needs to play Andy Lau?s pretty boy character. Tony Leung?s character requires a lot of brooding and Matt Damon is much better at it.
I hope they translated the script okay. And I hope they don?t cast anyone annoying for the female characters.
For the record, this is my favourite Gartan pic ever.
