    AQA, I'm doing the straight Philosophy. How are you finding it? My mind is completely shattered after every lesson =/.
    I'm with OCR but i've noticed that most of AQA's philosophy content is condensed into the AS philosophy unit for OCR. To be honest, I found the lessons enlightening if anything; though, I agree some of the concepts are rather complex.

    Aha, some concepts are also just plain stupid. Plato's idea of the world of forms is still amusing to me...

    Lol, to be fair, I wasn't too fond of Plato; yet, I found his analogy of the cave pretty interesting. I like Aristotle more so than Plato, he's so much more of a realist.

    Which concepts do you not like?

    I detested Virtue Ethics, aha, it just looks like I hate anything written by the founding fathers of Philosophy :P

    Yep, because of this. Hey, shouldn't complain - wouldn't you rather find out sooner?

    It's normally the 2nd Thursday in March, this year it just happens to be as early as that can be.

    I think I'll try to get my results when there isn't a big queue. I cannot stand queuing with too talkative people

    I also cannot stand hearing people announce that they don't care about exams or results - I think to myself why are you at college then?:rolleyes:
