Hello ILP folks…Savvy here and I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m starting university next week and as fate would have it, I ended up choosing an Intro to Philosophy as an optional course (registered at the last minute plus my computer, the b*tch decided to give me a hard time).

Practically, all my life, I have been preparing to get into med school so I gear towards the natural sciences. Therefore the study of philosophy is really new to me so I’m shaking in my babe boots right now. Since I need to maintain an excellent GPA, I could use all the help I can find (self-interest pure and simple :smiley: ). I’ve searched the philosophy forums universe and ended up here. After reading some of the discussions, I’m still kinda lost but hopefully I can be inspired and would learn something from you guys. Salut.

Hello there, AND welcome! I am sure You will learn something, but one word of warning: please first things first, be prepared to pick and choose,the better stuff and practice prioritizing. This may help You from going under.

So how come you chose philosophy as an optional course? Do you possess some sort of fundamental knowledge about the history of philosophy and the terminology or are you a blank slate? I assume you have an optional course and a main, so what’s your main?

Only two days here and already facing an inquisition? :wink: I hope to get into the Biology Honours program and I chose it primarily because it fits perfectly my schedule. And fortunately for me, a fundamental knowledge of Philosophy’s history and terminology is not a prerequisite, otherwise I’m f*cked. Btw, are you a student too (sorry I’m the new kid on the chopping block so I don’t know yet who’s who or who’s what here)?

Monsieur Orbie: Thanks for the heads-up.

Some of us can seem a bit crazy, but we’re more than qualified to get you through an intro philosophy course. Feel free to post up any questions, or things you’d like to discuss.

Only ‘a bit crazy’? I read through some of the discussions here in Off Topic (taking one baby step at a time) and a bit crazy is a tad bit of an understatement lolz…so to quote our little orphan Annie "I think I’m gonna like it here…cheers guys…

Hey guys love the forum. I’m 35 with a phil degree and a law degree and I’ll admit, I smoke crack. Started off pure hearted but yet these days would claim to be largely knowing. I plan to make posting here a daily ritual so I’ll see you on the forums. :wink:

If you ever get busted, call yourself immediately and don’t say anything until you are present.

thank you, thank you…really, wonderful audience

Sounds like a plan. :wink:

Who’s side are you on?

Who’s side? What are the choices?

Hi there. I am not using my real name here. My username is a double entendre. Try to figure out what it means and get back to me. By the way, how do you set your signature here? Or must I wait to be vetted first?

Hello, I am the main character from like every Wodehouse novel ever! No really, I am just a guy who loves life!!!

Hi, I’m Shaw and I’m an extra.

I did not expect to see you here, Zoot. When did they let you out?

is this George Bernard Shaw?

I thought you were dead.

The first prison I ever saw had inscribed on it ‘CEASE TO DO EVIL: LEARN TO DO WELL,’ but as the inscription was on the outside, the prisoners could not read it… Good to have you back.

Yeah, you and everybody else.

I never even saw this thread before… it’s full of people who like, never posted anywhere else before.

What’s with those shoulder zippers Snake’s got there? What function do they serve?

Well, if you were as sexy as Snake and you walked down the street with a slow sexy gait showing off your muscles and eye patch, your head might swell a bit too. At times like this, the zips come in mighty handy. I know. Trust me.
