Gaah
Life, life keeps throwing these things in my face, things like tests that need studying for, things of that nature. College is expensive, and I do have my priorities straight, to some degree. In other words, I did not do all that I wanted to do. However I did sign up for classes today, for next semester, I got some good stuff, like Epistemology, and French Revolution history, and Archeology lab.

The course description for Epistemology, cause I'm sure most of you have never heard it before, I never heard about it before today.

inquires whether it is possible for the human mind to know anything as it really is, and studies the philosophers who have affirmed and those who have skeptically denied this possibility. One inquires into the place of knowledge in the existence of the human person, asking what it is about persons that enables them to know; one also inquires into the social and historical conditions of knowing. One proceeds to distinguish different kinds and degrees of knowledge, as well as different sources of error. Attention is given throughout to the role of the senses in knowing. Classic texts from the tradition of Western philosophy are read.


I'm looking forward to it.
