6/4/2010

In the first period, we had our second PWT!
Preparation for the test seemed easier than the last one.
The test itself was also not so difficult, but there were a few questions I got confused, which I realized that one of them was wrong in today's class. Oh well, at least I got used to searching fallacies and oversimplifications more than before through this PWT. By the way, the classroom was too warm and I was half asleep! The atmosphere was like a summer afternoon, feeling the light breeze and taking a short nap.

In the afternoon, we had our class in the smaller mac room.
We were supposed to work on our essays, but I was still on the step of worrying about what to choose for the topic. I know that my essay is not coming along, but since my first essay, it has been difficult for me to choose a topic which is arguable, resources can be found mostly in English, and achievable. I was more interested in cultural difference, but I couldn't find the way to make that topic into an argumentative essay. I mean, it's not possible to declare that one culture is better than the other. So I was stuck.
On the other hand, the cultural differences between Asian countries were something I first wanted to focus on, so Rab advised me to set this as the topic and be kind of critic against the writing of Nisbett.
Now, I can start working on my essay, searching for evidences and start writing:)

I have to get busy until the tutorial I signed up for on Monday..............
