what am i doing here?

i should be writing my essay for the University Scholars Programme....

pfft.

but the question looks like this:
Write an essay that explains why you’ve been intrigued by an idea, concept, or theory you have encountered. This idea can come from either a traditional academic discipline -- such as history, science, philosophy, or mathematics -- or from fields such as film, engineering, art, or politics.
(400 to 600 words)
that's not too bad... then they have this:
In planning your essay, bear the following in mind: we are looking for evidence of your specific, first-hand response to an idea or theory. Your essay should identify the idea and explain if you have a personal, unique, or notable relation to it. Then, analyze the concept with as much detail and depth as possible, explaining how your engagement with this idea changed or broadened your thinking.
i don't know what to write about... it's not like i keep track of the stuff that changes my life drastically. discipline i guess will probably be history/ science/ film/ art.. hmm maybe write on life/ death/ birth/ forgiveness perhaps...
