*and here we go...*
Do you think a kindly advisor could be approached with such a vague student or should I buckle down with a load of books until something clicks... which maybe it never will.... in which case I should give up on the whole thing. Become a plumber. Or whatever.
Ahhhh bugger it’s all a bit to much and I'm ranting. And that takes some will power round here! Reply at your own risk...
You see! Now how'd you manage that!? I take it your a scientific type judging by the name? (Should have been a detective me...) It does seem to be a different ball game.
Trouble is it’s all interesting. Apart from an exceptionally poor Political Concepts course and the god damn Empiricists I loved it all. I wasn’t, obviously, equally good at all of it, but the ones that I performed best in were always kind of a surprise. For example Philosophy of mind is fascinating but I think that purely because it stumps me. Whereas with Ethics I feel I’ve done it to death but I excel at it. With every module I found things I loved and things I didn’t but I'm blown if I can differentiate now! Judgement not my strong point. Ironically.
*Gonna continue just down there....*
Hi, little friendly 'been there done that' advice required. I had always intended to do a Phd but I have just finished my Masters (crap- I hated it. Entirely the wrong course. Bright girl) but am nowhere closer to choosing a topic. I am a Philosophy Graduate so need to write my own research proposal but I'm honestly stumped. Is there some trick or way round it? I'm one of those people who really struggles when it comes to writing my own titles but will answer any question thrown at me. Am I alone in this? Any suggestions how I can overcome my crippling lack of creativity?
