Consciousness
I adore my French classes so far . Every speaks really well and I see my own French turning a whole new corner. But this semester, my favorite thing about school though is my philosophy class on consciousness. I love that the professor began class with a bit of a boiler plate review of what would be covered. I felt instantly amused by his enthusiasm and love for what he does. He mentioned a symptom called "Zombie-ism."

ReplyDeleteYour blog is very inspiring, and what a cute photo!
