Ramblings #1

As the excerpt says:

“Ramblings about my plans (academic and employment) for the future, including Teach for Australia and the philosophy of Ian Hinckfuss, and a critique of UQ’s academic tutors (everything else about the uni is fantastic).”

However due to lack of sleep and lack of Kieran to talk to I am pouring out my ramblings here (instead of keeping this journal [I hate the word "blog"] exclusively for treatises, for example “On . . .”) but I’ll try to make sure my next post is back to my usual higher standard.

On University

I feel like I need to get this out of my system so I will. This is purely my personal subjective opinion (and in this situation I am only trying to praise one thing, but am not remotely interested in criticising its noble competitors who are still good secondary options if my first preferences did not exist) so unfortunately you can’t take my words as scientific fact and its up to you to decide to what degree I am biased and thus whether my words have any importance to you at all. You do not have to accept everything I say here, I admit that some things I say here have more backing behind them than others, so feel free to pick and choose which advice helps you and which does not. I won’t be offended if you decide to ignore my words, and I’m not interested in arguing my points further beyond this argument. As I said, this rant is more for the emotional health of my brain and perhaps after I have gotten these passionate words of advice out of my system I can chill out and stop seeing this as such a crucial issue for year 12 students.
