Existential Elevator

Howdy hi!

I'm back now, hopefully... Had my interview at Cambridge... now I've got all the way 'till January to find out if I'm being offered a place *bites nails*

Lovely city, though. Lovely university too. And this comes from the biggest of cynics!

Hope you're all fine and dandy smiley - biggrin

Thanks guys...

Yeah, it is a long-time dream. But I never really believed I'd make it. And standing on the doorstep of this is like, well... I don't want to think about it too much, y'know? I don't want to be too excited in case I don't make it.

Argh! Stalkers! smiley - runsmiley - laugh

I always think look on the pessemistic side then when the optimistic does happen you are stunned and if it doesn't well gods got something just as great in store.

Philosophy huh? Right. Your starter for ten:- Who was Thales? and what was his basic philosphy? No conferring!smiley - biggrin

smiley - laugh If I remember correctly [and I reserve the right to be wrong] Thales was one of the first philosophers ever ever, of the ancient greek variety, and he was the bloke who said, in a roundabout kind of way, that you can never step in the same stream twice smiley - biggrin

Do I pass? smiley - winkeye

boddhisatva

Yes EE you're right! He was an ancient Greek philiosopher and is thought of as one of the first philosophers. His "thing" was that everything is water. Can see where he's coming from but ultimately he was wrong. The bit about stepping into the same river twice is right though. Good luck with the application, hope it turns out to be everything you expected and more.....smiley - biggrin

Yay! I got it right smiley - biggrin
Thanks Bodhi smiley - smiley

I've been pooled for the college that I applied to...and, being fair, I don't think I've much hope of being picked up by someone else. I don't mind though - whatever happens I shall end up doing a degree in something I love smiley - smiley


EE: I'm back....

boddhisatva

Which is the only good reason for doing a degree. ie in something that you love! There's nothing worse than finding yourself at the start of a three- (or sometimes four) year slog doing something that you hate!
Good luck once again. I quite envy you. Wish I was back in Higher Education!. It sure beats working.!smiley - biggrin
