Stuff That's Been Happening In My World Recently

For anyone that's interested (i.e parents) recently I have mainly...

1. Been working hard! This year is obvioulsy fairly important in my academic life and it's going really well. I've had time to reflect on my University years recently and i've decided that the modern University experience (academically speaking) is very much like a funnel. I spent the first two years taking courses and listening to lecturers that I didn't like, so that by my third year I could purposely avoid certain areas and people! Now, the four modules and dissertation that i'm doing are all subject areas that I enjoy and the lecturers are people that... Intellectually stimulate me! My dissertation is on the 17th Century devotional poet George Herbert and the influence of the doctrine of Justification by Faith alone on his posthoumus work 'The Temple'. My supervisor is a lady named Proff Helen Wilcox who reminds me of Grandma's all around the world, a really lovely lady who also happens to be somewhat of an expert on GH. My other two courses are Arthurian literature (challenging but engaging) and Writing identities (absolutely fascinating- I encourage everyone to read White Teeth by Zadie Smith and Sugar & Slate by Charlotte Williams). Everything is going to plan, although things are bound to get hectic soon with two essays to be handed in for week seven.
2. Playing a lot of sport! This year, aswell as playing Ultimate Frisbee, I have started playing football regularly in the Sunday league 7 a-side tournament for Mike's Bites. It's been a frustrating season thus far with two draws and a loss and a serious amount of bad luck, but things will soon change. I've also been surfing a few times this year aswell as playing badminton and table tennis (I was foolishly challenged yesterday by Sarah Donnelly who paid the price). After a long time of inactivity in the summer (due to ankle injuries) it's good to re-gain fitness.
3. Watching films! One of my new housemates this year, Emily, brought with her an immense DVD collection! We now have almost 150 films and i'm working my way through them. Films that i'd recommend are: I Am Sam, Hero, Corpse Bride, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, The Departed (in the cinema).
4. Listening to new music! I'll post more on what i've been listening to recently later.

That's pretty much it, life seems to be hectic at the moment... I should probably sleep more.
