Semester: Finished!
I have done all the lessons for another year of college :-)
...a couple of tutorials and one exam still to go.
I also still have 40 credits to go before I stop being a second year student. 10 of those are prep for year 3 work that I won't be doing until after I've done half of year three. 10 are on Satire. And 20 are Work Based Learning.
... I have to do work? Wait, I thought that's what I was avoiding in college...
Today was double successful. I made a (short, top of my head) reading list on fanfic for teacher (revenge! revenge at last!) (her reading lists tend to be full of books where the nearest copy is in a library in Cambridge. We are not in Cambridge. :-p ) She took it and went looking on the internet for Ripley fanfic. Which, obviously, she found, for the internet has everything, especially when it includes Jude Law and Matt Damon. First page result was an Alien xover. Win. So now she reckons next time she teaches the unit she'll include something about fanfic. Since the topic for the last lesson was adaptation, forgery, fakes, authenticity and originality, there's a lot of mileage to be had there, even more than in the comparison of book to films.
Baudrillard is annoying and teacher was arguing that the things he says aren't true but they're to make us think of the true things. Or something. Boo. Stupid writings stupid saying things that don't mean things and then you get to the next paragraph and it says that wasn't the point anyway. Small idea, big word mess to hide it in.
(Possibly I just being stupid and don't understand, but even so, stupid word mess.)
I was going to go to a film but at lunch I risked some of the food I probably can't digest because the food I can actually eat wasn't available. Surprise surprise, I still can't digest it. But the good thing about small amounts of ungood food is it resolves itself relatively swiftly.
Must remember to have proper grab and go food on the way to college. No more eating the no good stuff.
Apparently there was a petition about providing better (or any) vegetarian (and vegan) food, but I did not see it. I shall have to write to someone instead. It would really help if students could eat.
... but I don't have to worry about it until next September. Because I am finished with lessons for the year. Yaays!
