IDK, but when I responded I imagined it as a sort of hetti-nod to a sweet verse from the Diamond Sutra:
"So you should view this fleeting world -- A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, A flash of lightening in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."

Thank you. It was a hassle at the exam, I got horrid intrusive/racing thoughts, so I am proud. I did not read too much of the subject either.

Interesting. Your post sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole as I looked up the meaning of "classical rhetoric" & Aristotle and the 3 branches of rhetoric, etc
Outside of a bachelor's degree in Biological Science, from a US university, the only other formal education I've undergone is I possess a Qualified Applicators License issued thru the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. I take continuing education courses every two years and have maintained my license for twenty years.
My favorite posts are the ones I learn from, send me down rabbit holes or challenge my own beliefs and I learn from it.

I switched degrees. Returned to school. Break is nice. School can be intense.
