I just applied for a small college (GPRC, only two hours away from Grande Cache and I know a lot of people there). I go in September. I'm only allowed to stay there for a year until they make me transfer to a big university (but not as big as the godaweful giant U of A), but at least for one year I get to feel comfortable with my surroundings. Then it's off to Augustana. It's a christian university, but I can deal with morning prayer; it'll bother me much less than the pretentious jerks at the U of A and the big, ugly city of Edmonton.
Yay! Sounds like a great plan. And, I completely with your idea that a Christian college won't be as bad as a pretentious big university. I went to a small Christian college (thought I am merely curious spiritually; and not Christian or anything like that) and I found the atmosphere to be more honest, kind, and every way as scholarly as a larger university.Quote:

After that, I might go for another course which will take me at least 2 more years but not sure yet.
you remember how much of a challenge it was to get all the info you want into so few words right? :p
I suppose i can shake hands on that. Besides... i have a boyfriend who's promised to make sure i actually finish college for once! :DQuote:

Good luck, Juniper! :)Quote:

I finished and finally submitted my essay. next stop, TMA05 and Benin Art....

Haha, no, those are our mounted police. They're sort of like our FBI except that they work on the provincial and municipal levels too.Quote:

Niamh - I don't know if it will be of any help to you but the Beeb did a programme about the ancient kingdom of Benin only a couple of weeks ago in their series lost Kingdoms of Africa: if you didn't see it, maybe you could catch up with it on iPlayer. There was quite a bit about the Benin bronzes, how they were made, what they signified etc (and the presenter was quite a dish......stop it, kasie, behave!)Quote:

Kasie> I remember you saying you are going to Egypt in February. When are you off?
I cant access BBC iplayer. a pooy. Maybe i can get it from amazon....?Quote:

I'm almost organised, just have to finish packing the case, weigh it, take out a few things, weigh it again..... Most items on The List are ticked, a few odds and ends to finish off - and as soon as I get on the coach, I'll remember something I didn't do, didn't pack, someone I didn't phone, as always. The i-Pod is loaded with five new books to listen to and the e-Reader is loaded with four books to read and, best of all, selected chapters from Lonely Planet's Guide to Egypt so I don't have to take the whole hefty p/b. (And, yes, the chargers are ready for packing.) Will be back March 1st, God willing and a following wind.Quote:

Veho - you're right, the Benin episode doesn't seem to be available, but the great Zimbabwe episode that is now available was episode three and the Benin episode was number four, so maybe it will be available shortly.
I found out today that the Benin one is on BBC2 this sunday at 6.10pm. :)Quote:

I made an arse of the question... It was on the Chapter Ireland and the invention of Tradition.... the qurstion was about the built heritage of Ireland and if the concepts tradition and dissent can be used to discuss the attitudes to Irelands built heritage. as the chapter was titled inventing tradition... i took built heritage to be this,( creating, inventing, building etc) and the chapter kind of gave it that impression as well... oh no. It was built heritage as in building and monuments. meh.
:nod::confused5::ciappa:Check it out, I am missing a test this week because I'm out of town fro work. I sent an email to the professor last week explaining the situation. The professor said it was fine and I could make it up as long as I brought her a note from my employer explaining why I couldn't make the test.:gnorsi:
Don't you love it? Do you have to get a signed note from the boss???Quote:

assignment due next week and i havent even started it. :( *gulp* Last two weeks have been a total nightmare and now i'm seriously behind.
So far so good, I missed one test and did well in another and because our shutdown was postponed I'll have ample time to study for the next two.Quote:
