Choosing a course
One of the “problems” that I have at the moment is that I’ve run off the end of the degree that I’ve been doing part-time over the last seven years.
Now, I could just do nothing from this point, but I would miss the gradual accumulation of new facts and ideas that I’ve been acquiring over that time and besides there are loads of interesting courses in the prospectus. Yes folks, I’m a compulsive prospectus reader.
When you leaf through a prospectus the sheer range of courses is quite amazing. There’s everything from archaeology through to physics with lots in between. Actually, the archaeology course is one of those “in-between” courses mixing aspects from the art world and from the scientific one and there are a surprising number of such inter-disciplinary courses around.
It’s been on the art side of things that I’ve been working on over the last seven years and, all being well, I’ll have a modern languages degree by Christmas. Whilst in “art mode” I had a look at courses on the history of art (definitely not me), history (interesting but a tendency to delve into very detailed lists of events) and even English (not me either). For a change I also looked at the science courses of which geology (not suitable for me this year), integrated science (a full credit course, which is more than I want to do) and planetary science (the most likely contender for the coming year). Oh, and, of course, the archaeology course which sounds really fascinating but has a start date that’s awkward for me in the coming year.
So what’ll I do? Well, I was thinking of taking a year out but I really do fancy the planetary science course so I may enrol on that one in the next few weeks.
