Hi folks,<\/p>\n
Second term is passing very quickly, and we\u2019re approaching week 18 already! In the past few weeks I\u2019ve received conditional offers for two of the graduate programmes in philosophy that I submitted an application for back in mid-December. I\u2019m very happy about this, and I have to say thank you to some of my lecturers, who helped me figuring out which courses to apply for, and how to submit a strong application. This is one of the things that I like most about the PPR Department here at Lancaster: the staff is very supportive, and able to help you a great deal if you just ask. By the end of your third year, you can truly get to know some academics from the department and form good relationships with them.<\/p>\n
Having received some good news, I decided to concede myself a few days off and went climbing in Warton (a place close to Carnforth, 10 minutes by train from Lancaster) with some friends\u2013 the weather was exceptionally good for end of February standards (it was some 5-6 days before blizzards hit the country, just in time)! We\u2019re also planning a trip to the climbing wall in Kendal, which is supposed to be one of the best in the UK. Hopefully next week.<\/p>\n
Week 10 is week of deadlines, so I\u2019ll have to do some more work before a well-deserved Easter holiday. The essay I\u2019m working on at the moment is for my Logic and Language module, and it\u2019s about modal logic. Roughly speaking, modal logic deals with how to analyse arguments that incorporate notions of necessity and possibility. It\u2019s a very intriguing topic, but also quite technical and difficult to get your head around, so it will require some serious concentration!<\/p>\n
On March 17, we\u2019re having our last Applicants Visit Day. If you haven\u2019t had the opportunity to come already, book a place for that day if you can.<\/p>\n
Hope to see some of you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
