Finished reading one of the course text books... Now I need to concentrate on "extra" readings...
And need to come up with a research proposal.

So i had my first tutorial on Saturday. I was very nervous because, well its been 6.5 years since i last studied. Saturday was the first official day of the course too, but the tutor wanted us to have studied our section of Cleopatra for the class. I'd gone into town on Thursday to get some extra reading, Plutarch's Roman Lives and Cassius Dio's The History of Rome: The Life of Augustus, as these are two famous texts that contain info on Cleo, and reference books for the course. Interesting stuff.
So the class was two hours long and it was such a different type of tutorial to the ones i remember. It was more of a discussion which i found really interesting. The tutor was very enthusiastic (and cute*knows she's going to have to pay for that comment in a couple of minutes so hides from kilted.* ) which gave a good athmosphere to the class. I've only ever had one other tutor in my third level education years show such enthusiasm for his chosen occupation and that was my Archaeology Tutor in DKIT. Naturally that was my favourite class. I find enthusiasm from the educator makes studying a subject a lot easier.
The class seemed really nice. One student though did get on my nerves a bit. In my book, you dont cut off a Tutor while they are talking, and if they want to speak you let them. it is their class after all.
Anyway, the class was really fasinating. I'm probably doing to write up drafts of my assignment tomorrow and wednesday, to get the practice in. My next class is a telephone tutorial and then a class on halloween. cant wait.

meh I still wins though
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk

I've got too much to do and feel like I'm not doing my best either. Argh. And what the hell am I doing here on LitNet when I should be doing Russian listening comprehension?

I know, Annamariah. I need to ground myself. I only slept three hours last night because of homework and I'm here. That's crazy!
Eight more weeks and I'm DONE with classes! Then I'm on to student teaching for 15 weeks. Then Graduation. Can you believe that? I can't .
I've still got two and a half years ahead of me... that's if I'll stay on the schedule
Good luck with your last two months of classes

Then we are at exactly the same place. I try not to think about the next five years, just the next eight months. After my bachelor's I will be able to work while I take master's courses. When I'm all done I think I'll take some kind of amazing vacation.
erm, both of you step away from litnet and do your homework!!
