Philo Orals < Situation in the Arab States

If my topic for my final Philo orals was about Libya or Tunisia or Egypt and their current situation, I think I would have done a better job.

Thomas Aquinas gave importance to the preservation of life and clearly what is happening now in Libya is a violation of Aquinas' perspective.

The prostitution topic was tough (in the end, during the orals time), but it was a good discussing it with the groupmates (though I felt really dumb since they were using terms such as maxims, volitions, precepts. My head wanted to explode then)

Time of Discernment

Career and adventure or faith and adventure?

To Malaysia (or Indonesia) or Spain?

I need to decided (FAST) what I want to do.

The global internship, I believe, will be good as a career jumpstart, plus I can live in a country for 2 months or less. And it'll be in Asia, I've always wanted to go to Indonesia and Malaysia. Though I've been to Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur will be just as great. And if this program goes well, and if I join the other programs, then probably I will have a good job.

The WYD will be an experience of a lifetime. Going to Spain and seeing multitudes of people having the same belief as yours. And seeing the Pope will be great because (in my very shallow opinion) I will "receive" divine intervention. But the thing is, if I go to Spain, then it will mean that I will not have a job for 3-4months, and my parents want me to earn money to be used for the Spain trip.

WYD reg deadline is on Feb 28, and it'll cost me 10k+.

There will be orientations and interviews next week, and it'll cost me up to 1-2k.
