Hello. This is long overdue. I have a LiveJournal but it frankly pales in comparison to this beauty. I aim to talk about my Philosophy degree and essays, photography and books in this, but as the title implies, I am sure I will go off topic.
I am Alice, Ally to my friends, and am a second year Philosophy student at the University of Sussex. It is good. My lecturers are all somewhat formidable. In the term just gone by I studied Epistemology, Kant, and Philosophy of Mind (along with a fucking stupid English elective which angered me immensely). In the term I am about to embark on, I am studying Metaphysics, Phenomenology and Ethics.
