Seventh Revision; Gigantic Rock, Göteborg, 2010-02-01

Hi!
My name is Tomas Halberstad.
I am 31 years old.
I live in Göteborg, Sweden, on the island of the Hisingen.
I live with my girlfriend, Camilla, and our dog, Bosse.
I am a student and a songwriter.
I study Theoretical Philosophy (used to study Practical Philosophy) and write pop-songs.
I started this blog in order to publish my music. The idea was to write, record and post. (That hasn’t really happened but it might.)
I dislike social networks, mainly Internet-based ones but I still use them, arbitrary but there you go, live with it. If you want to find me on any one of those go to the biggest one; it’s called Google. I’m on Google.
I like my little family, food and The Arsenal, also sneakers and beer.
Should work out more but it seems to be an on and off thing with me.
Oh, and I suck at Formal Logic.

The utter disbelief in myself and this subject…

The ‘on a personal level’-crap does not want to end.
Got back an exam today. The exam I took in Formal Logic. It had a big fat U written on it. U as in Underkänd, U as in fail. I know I’ve said that Logic was/is not my thing. This just underlines it, in red. Big fat red.

Maybe it’s for the best.

As I walked the short distance from the tram stop to the school-house today, knowing I would get the result of the exam upon arrival, I thought: If I pass this course I’ll hand in my exam to the teacher and ask to do it again, because if I pass this course; my passing would be a big fat joke, a stroke of luck. This because I do not know any of the things one should know when having passed this course.

Now, in reality I would not have done the above. The thought rose out of the utter disbelief in myself and this subject, as a pair.

Sadly, life has a way of taking care of situations and things like this; hence my not passing.

This means I have added three weeks of work to this semester, and not three weeks added on. No. Three weeks taken out of nights, weekends, holidays. And I really need to pass this course, otherwise I might not get into the courses I want to take next semester…
