Post Consultation

I just finished consulting with Fr. Nemy of the Office of Admission and Aid also at the same time our prefect of studies (Philo). I have now my subjects for next semester and these are:

PH 110 (Philosophy Seminar for Comprehensives)
PH 118 (Contemporary Philosophy)
PH 202 (Advance Epistemology)
PH 116 (Medieval Philosophy)
PH 234 (Martin Heidegger)

Plus I am making my Comprehensive exams this coming January and I have written comprehensives on May. And legally, I will shift to MA Philo non-degree to MA Philosophy Degree non-thesis. Sounds exciting? if you only knew, I am having some withdrawal symptoms now. I’ve been doing philosophy for (how many years now?) I want to explore other fields (I wish) like Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science (maybe), Communications or even Literature (creative writing).

I was just staring at it for 10 minutes until I finally learn to accept it. That yes, I am STILL going to do philosophy next semester (can I possibly have a non-philo elective? accupunture maybe?). Even sometimes I have withdrawal symptoms to do it, but yet I am psyching my self that I am studying philosophy can be "fun" for the sake of future ministry. A part of "yes" I promised (oh... I almost forgot). I just wish after this I can get my MA diploma/license [Father, do I have to pose for a grad pic? hehehehe]

Grant me the rigor to do it, the grace to sustain it and the wisdom to know the difference. Give me strenght to finish to this one. Shucks, I need to be motivated (or be inspired maybe). It seems I have lost my energy just looking at this one. I know, this too shall pass.
