Oh ... The Joys of Essay Writing!

Whereas the weekend was spent on soccer, cooking and mugging ... these two dismal days have been spent either in a stiff-backed chair squinting my eyes at some readings or in front of the PC hacking away at the keyboard in an attempt to create smth ressembling an essay. ;(
Of cos now that my essay is beginning to take shape ... I actually feel rather excited because unlike other assignments (aka math or econ short answer questions), the process of writing an essay and eventually completing it (especially a well-researched and thorough one) is very very satisfying. The process is very synthesizing and as you pen your thoughts in answer you start to question you own beliefs and begin to consider opinions from different angles. More than any other piece of assignment, I give essays my full ONE HUNDRED PERCENT attention because the final product is not only good for revision (haha) but also extremely fulfilling! ;p This topic in particular - abt church-state relations has been very thought-provoking and being Christian myself I've had to reassess some of the views I've held abt the role of the church in society and its position with respect to a modern liberal democracy.
Hmmm had lunch at Becks again today ... seems to be becoming a weekly thing now haha! And BB came over for dinner - with the primary purpose of koping my anime collection. He walked off with abt 100GB worth of anime - enuf to keep any man satisfied and occupied for HUNDREDS of hours!
