Next week I officially finish classes for semester 2, and also conclude my first year of study. It's gone so quickly and it's sort of overwhelming to think that I've already been through one year. I have exams in a couple of weeks which I'm so not looking forward to...I just hope I go ok in them.
I've chosen my subjects for next semester! I've decided to major in English Lit, which I wasn't really sure about at first but I think it's probably the right path for me. I'm still doing History and Theology units which I really love, it would have been cool to major in Theology but I didn't on account of the fact that I don't know where it would take me afterwards.
I've successfully finished one of the books on my dream book list - Richard Ford's "The Sportswriter". IT WAS BLOODY AMAZING. I don't think I've encountered prose like that in a long time. I was thrilled to find out that it's the first in a series so will definitely be reading the following books. If you can get your hands on it, it's worth it.
I also started reading a beast of a book called "The Adventures of Augie March", written by Saul Bellow. Interesting plot line but very heavy (physically and linguistically). I want to keep pushing on with it and see what happens.
Anyway, that's all I can really think of that's worth talking about. I'll try and keep my posts more regular.
Peace.
