Awww, you're both so sweet, thank you!!!
(And I can't believe you actually remembered, Eloise!
My own parents can't even remember!
).
I think I've pretty much passed this course anyway (we've had two assignments so far, one worth 10% and the other worth 40%, and I've got distinctions for both), so I can sort of not do well and still be OK. But eugh, the revision!
QuoteIt is universally allowed by modern enquirers, that all the sensible qualities of objects, such as hard, soft, hot, cold, white, black &c. are merely secondary, and exist not in the objects themselves, but are perceptions of the mind, without any external archetype or model, which they represent. If this be allowed, with regard to secondary qualities, it must also follow, with regard to the supposed primary qualities of extension and solidity; nor can the latter be any more entitled to that denomination than the former...
My opinion of David Hume has diminished somewhat. But it's great, 'cause I can think of nothing better to do than read each paragraph of every reading
five times to understand it.
But seriously, exam-induced stress/bitterness aside, I really do appreciate it all (wow, I feel
loved....... *ahh*
), so thanks again!!! (And how did your exams go, Eloise? I feel bad for not keeping track now
).
Love and
to all!!!!!!!

And I'll make sure those crutches are handy, just in case...
Though, given the number of times my head's been intimately acquainted with the wall 'cause I couldn't understand something
, a *helmet* might be an idea...
