My Undergraduate Dissertation

     Hello,

     Seeing as I have finished my degree and my graduation is in one week, I figure I should post my dissertation up online so that it is definitely backed up. This is because I completely forgot to get it printed in book form after I got the grade back, so while I still might do that - I'm posting it here in case something goes wrong with my PC and I lose it forever.

     So seeing as it is here, if anyone were to desire to read it, be my guest. It's not as heavy or long as it looks or as you might think, because believe it or not, I'm not that bad of a writer. It's kind of my area. So if you want to read it, you can at the below link. If you don't, then don't. It's not a problem, it's more here for me - so don't feel you ought to be interested.

      Oh, if you're wondering what it's about, it is using a certain guy's book to try to disprove a moral distinction in language because facts and values. Which sounds more complicated than it is. Essentially, it is about morality, motivations and the ways we use language. There's lots of examples and a few jokes throughout, so it's pretty easy to handle. If that sounds like something that might interest you, then here:

Inadvertent Ominous Poem

So as a strange post today, I accidentally wrote a poem.

Which is not something that often happens.

Basically, I was writing down some ominous phrases to use for a much larger project I am currently working on, and I couldn't decide what kind of thing to go for, so I wrote down, all in capitals, a few sentences in a list. I left them for a few days to mull over and when I went back to them, I opened my book at the page and read through them only to find that they somewhat made sense in order and some even rhymed.

So, I've written them down as a poem and are unlikely to now use any of these in the larger project - but whatevs, it's kinda fun.
