Oxford

It's a saturday, my day off, and i'm writing my personal statement. Again. It's so hard to put into delicately eloquent words why I want to study ppe at oxford. I know there is a perfectly good reason somewhere I just don't really know what it is yet. There is so much that I want to convey and so much I have to say but I cannot put it into words why they should pick me. I can honestly say there is very little that i have ever wanted in life more than my desire to get into oxford to study ppe. There is something about this subject, or these subjects, that has just caught my imagination in almost every area that interests me. I have always taken a keen interest in world affairs and have always been a bit of a cynic. But just the tasters I've had of actually studying politics have shown me that the world as it seems to us lay people is entirely different and so much more complicated than we could ever imagine. Economics itself, in such a turbulent time, is a field which has such a fundemental effect on all areas of our lives and our happiness. I never really considered philosophy as a real subject until i started reading philosophy books. Being a vegetarian I had always just felt that kiling animals for meat was in someway fundementally wrong. I couldn't explain it I just knew it. That is i suppose what philosophers would call my conscience or my basic moral code. But now I see that there are such massive questions out there that philosophy can help to solve or at least to explore in greater depth. Can anyone even defend animal rights now? Some say no. It's so infuriating to know how much this interests me but not be able to say it right. Grrr.
