responsibilities and my day



hayy... the semester has just started but it feels like it's already in the mid-sem (in terms of works). we do not have exams or paper to write yet (except in PHLO 172) but there are things that i have to do (that should be done, of course) that are outside my academic life. indeed, it's not only me that has lots to do, others have bigger responsibility/ies. just to tell you why: this would be the first time that our organization will stage a play. and even if we say that we are tied up with the Philosophy Division and a theater org, Thespian Circle, it's still a big responsibility, and appears as even bigger because this is our first time (plus other factors as small number of active members, money and etc.). on the contrary, i think it would be fun. the truth is, i'm excited.

and of course it should not be forgotten that i still have to work on our org recognition. included here is asking for copies of my orgmates' Forms 5. and speaking of works and responsibilities, i have a message for person x: "Be careful of what you are signing. You don't know what you're getting into. If it's just okay for you that others might get into trouble, then at least have some little care for yourself. You are in big trouble."

------
we'll be having a meeting at 8 pm so i'll be preparing for that (of course, after signing out in blogger). anyhow, my day as a student was pretty nice. we just had our first meeting in PHLO 172(Philosophy of Religion) and even if we have to submit a reflection paper on thursday, i still find the subject bearable. the reflection paper is no big deal, anyway. my PHLO 150 (Epistemology) class, on the other hand is kinda exciting. we actually had a nice discussion about (of course) Knowledge (and/or knowledge, as others do claim that Knowledge and knowledge are not one and the same). we, though not all, were so into answering the question that made ate megs and i create a diagram regarding the Knowledge and belief. the question on Knowledge had started not only decades, rather, thousands of years ago, and is still a question until this point in time (with no definite answer). well that's why it's a part of philosophy. we can find in there no certain answer/s. in PHLO 182 (Philosophy and Semiotics), however, we didn't have a class. but this gave me more time for relaxation.

the "i"


i am not what i am and am what i am not. i am my own nothingness.
-- jean-paul sartre


i am a thinking thing. i think therefore i am.
-- rene descartes


i am the mean between everything and nothing.
-- blaise pascal


i am what i repeatedly do. -- aristotle



AN EYE FOR AN "i"

the "i"; the ninth letter of the modern English alphabet.
it is a one-letter word, contested in terms of its meaning.

it could be the "me"; that which explicates my identity.
but what is the "me"?
how can the "me" be reduced to an i?
or the "i" be reduced to a "me"?
is "i = me" logically true?
can the identity be contained in a one-letter word such as "i"?
or can the "i" contain the identity?
can "me" be the "i"?
can "i" be the "me"?

the "i"; grammatically spelled with a capital letter such as "I",
hereafter used with a small letter "i",
to explain the "me" -
a "me" who is not only a subject who looks at objects
but an object as being looked by other subjects.
