It's about time too...

A blog about my (somewhat impatient and somewhat trying) experiences trying to start my BA in Theology through the Open Theological College via the University of Gloucestershire.

Sometimes I wonder...

I know, two updates in under 24 hours, what is the world coming to? Well I'm starting to wonder if I'm smart enough for parts of this course. The current module that I'm working for an essay on is called: Making sense of the modern world. It's about modernism and postmodernism, how the enlightenment ushered in first modernism and postmodernism, and how christian mission and culture should reflect secular culture and how it should be evangelised. All important fascinating stuff, but very confusing! Four books open at the same time trying to make sense of it. Fortunately when I get puzzled I just go to wikipedia as that has some great stuff in the language of the lay-man rather than deep philosophical science.

Another blog entry at long last...

I never seem to remember to blog. Not very good at this whole thing really.

OTC chaos struck again this weekend, partly my fault, partly theirs. Mostly mine, in fact. I've been getting very confused about what order I'm supposed to be doing all this work in (turns out all at the same time and I'm getting a touch muddled) and managed to miss one of my assignment deadlines, which I didn't know about. Fortunately I managed to write somewhere in the realm of 1600 words on the subject over the weekend and got it in safely on Monday. I've got one more to finish (and it's already around the 1500 word mark, I've just got a wee bit of touching up to do) and then I have no more til late January/early Febuary. I can actually work rather than constantly trying to get essays done. The bit that was their fault was the course tutor didn't recieve my emails at first, some reason it seems to work now, so that's good news. :)

Can't think of anything else to update, only one request--if anyone's got some stunningly good links on Modernism/Post-modernism, I'd love to give 'em a read. That's what the current webCT is on and I'm having a blast although occasionally getting somewhat confused. :)
