Philosophical Inclusions and McDonalds

Today I had the Philosophy paper of my Philosophy and Ethics GCSE. The paper is two hours long, you have to answer 12 essay questions about various philosophical topics (such as the nature of God, good and evil, life after death, the concept of the soul ect) and it is the one exam I've ever done and wanted there to be more questions as it's all so interesting to think about! Yes, I know, I'm a complete philosophy geek, but seriously, is there a more interesting subject? I will discover next year as philosophy A-level goes head-to-head with psychology A-level in the ultimate battle of interestingness (at a later date I will devise a point scoring system which I will update mentally as year 12 progresses).

But I digress, the important part of the exam today is that I achieved all the mini-goals I set for myself:

• Include the phrase 'hypostatic union' (I'm hoping for bonus marks),
• Write more pages than I did last year - I won, I wrote 13 A4 sides this time, beating last year's puny 12.
• Include all the Bible quotes I accidentally memorised.
• Include the word 'patriacy' - I've no idea why, but I've been wanting to say that a lot lately.
• Include the word travesty (my personal favourite word)
• Include the sneaky Dutch church's use of the Bible to justify the aparthide in South Africa.

So based on that, I'd say it was a sucessful exam! Oh, and something else I learnt today that shouldn't have been surprising: Cathy has only been to McDonald's twice. I guess she's just not a big fan of white american capitalist companies.
