Philosophy Graffiti

Date: 1/4/2017

I was with Leila. She said it was OK if I touch her so I did. Later I was with my sister; we had a competitive argument because, for an empty wine glass, I'd been charged 99p and she'd been charged £90 or £9. I was suggesting I deserved the discount, that it was for a reason. Then I was at Oxford University sitting a philosophy exam, as was she. The hall was full of people, with a few invigilators placed around. I haven't ever studied philosophy, but perhaps wanted to prove to my sister how I could do it. The questions seemed quite intuitive and I felt surprised. In the next building another exam was taking place. I gestured through the window at a student, either to ask for help or to tell him I didn't need it. One question was "what will happen if you're a soldier and you admit to being injured?" - I started writing the answer - basically, that you'll feel ashamed and try to hide it. I made a mistake in my wording, so to change the lettering tried to write over it in 'bubble writing'. My answer started to look like student graffiti. It was a struggle to finish the answer; more and more mess. Other students in the exam hall were starting to turn and ask each other questions. The student in front of me turned to me, and asked for help. I called out in a loud voice to the invigilator, expressing outrage.
