I was thinking as I went home: If the world was perfect, and all we ever knew was beauty, would we still call it beauty? Does beauty require some knowledge of ugliness to be beautiful? No doubt beauty in itself is absolute and good, since ugliness is but distorted beauty, but would we recognise beauty, having never known the other side? Questions to think about.
The whole day seemed to revolve around hard questions. From the opening debate in the morning over a source-based question on history, to the mind numbing lecture in econs in the afternoon, everything seemed to test our patience and strectch our brains. Or at least mine. I was exhausted by the end of the econs lecture, which was absolutely dreadful. We had a mind-boggling discussion about GP in the discussion room in the library, then another round of analysis into the nuances of a dark and morbid poem in lit. It's enough to make me sleep.
I don't know why, but I've been feeling so sleepy these few days. I've never known myself to feel sleepy during lectures or tutorials so frequently. I practically fell asleep in front of Mr Smith on Monday, haha. Anyway, I think a good afternoon nap today will refresh me for the evening, and hopefully tomorrow.
