classes will be Monday nights. which kind of sucks, but there you have it. I will have to set the vid to tape Media Watch, that's all.

hmm.
the compulsory subject I have left looks OK after all.
as does this other first semester subject. which still leaves one subject, plus the thesis.
I think I'll definitely drop back to one subject next semester; two would be overloading it, even with an extra day off a week, given that I'm lukewarm anyway.
maybe I can convince myself to do one of the second semester coursework subjects. if I did my thesis fulltime in semester 2, 2004, it would still be an OK completion date.
but still not entirely sure where this will take me, work-wise.

crossposted from bloggety blog:

meanwhile, am feeling most ambivalent about spending a large chunk of next year completing my masters' degree. it has turned out to be muchly more of the same as the postgrad b.litt, which was really undergrad stuff; lots of reading, synthesising theories and not much original thinking/surfing around. what did I expect from a coursework degree? or maybe I'm just not good at that sustained thought thing that high level academia demands. yes, I got 80. but I feel that a lot of it just washed over me; like I didn't get a whole lot more insight.

that decision, along with lots of sleep, exercise and doing whatever the hell I want, are going to be the focus of my holidays. oh, and eating.

you know what this means, Moriaty?
yes, it means I can claim my fees back from my employer!

have not seen the actual essay back yet, so no comments etc.

it's likely I'll be reviewing a book by my lecturer for my paper. so good thing too that he gave me a good mark, hey?
