Oy, my philosophy class today was absolutely painful! Lectures have been on Plato's Republic for the past 3 weeks or so, but no one has read ANYTHING.
At one point the tutor asked us to make a list of Plato's main points; I quickly jotted down Theory of the Forms, Divided Line, Allegory of the Cave (although it's called the "Simile of the Cave" over here), and the parallel structure of the city and the soul.
I'm really hesitant to speak up in the tutorial because I don't want to dominate the discussion because I've already read a lot of what we're going to do, so I held back.
The tutor called on someone else. She thought for a good two minutes and then said "Em.....Socrates?"
oy.
Oh well, there are bigger fish to fry--just got my history midterm assignment and another paper due for my Irish music class next week, not to mention the upcoming BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.
