I find it almost interesting that (at least) lingually and culturally speaking, Beijing has been attempting to control the south of China and the islands south of China for a quite a while... unsuccessfully, perhaps (depending on your definitions of "control" and "success").

Meta-physics is one of, if not the class with the most challenging material I have ever been required to comprehend in my academic career. Take, for instance, this passage from Parfit's Reasons and Persons:
"Some would object that all of the other indexical concepts- such as 'here', 'now', and 'this'-must be explained in a way that uses the concept 'I'. This is not so. All of the others, including 'I', can be explained in a way that uses the self-referring use of 'this'. And this self-referring use does not involve the notion of a self, or subject of experiences. It is the use of 'this' that in this sentence refers to this sentence. With the use of 'this', we can express 'subjective' truths without believing in the separate existence of subjects of experiences."
I know what is being written about in this passage, but that doesn't mean I comprehend it, nor does it mean I could teach it to someone else, which is what was required of me when I took the first test (of 3) for this class. Here goes nothing... (i.e. there goes everything.)

Now may be an appropriate time to mention that I am approximately 9 weeks away from my final final of my final semester as an undergrad.

Teacher: "Do you have an Edward Cullen poster in your room?"
Female student: "No..."
Teacher: "I do. I used to think it was funny..."

I haven't seen that Facebook movie, but I am almost willing to bet money that it signals the downfall of Facebook. I don't know how, all I know is that disenchantment is on the way.

Homework will be the death of me. Yeah, I know I only have 9 or so weeks remaining, but still... if teaching is to be a part of my future, I must be mindful of this. I wish to be mindful of learning. Learning, as opposed to standards and grades. This may seem to be an impossibility.
