Smart Studying.

It's almost been two years since I've been studying philosophy and I must say that I have to some extent,if not largely,been influenced by it.My first year in college was pretty random,academically that is,I didn't really know much of what I was doing not that I still do.It was only in my second year that I sort of started analysing things a lot more,thinking and re thinking.I've studied John Rawls and although I haven't really agreed with him,I did enjoy reading him.It's a different kind of satisfaction.Political philosophy was I guess different from whatever I had expected from philosophy as a subject.It was not only a surprise but a relevant surprise,I think I have connected more with the teachings and theories of political philosophies.And now that my exams are up,I only wish it wasn't a paper I was being marked for,it becomes really hard once you are righting an answer to a question that is so vast but you are supposed to be restricting yourself to a few words.I hate the fact that you can't pass with your understanding but can top with your "stock answers".Clearly am not very much for smart studying but nevertheless I shall try.Good luck.
