Well, time comes around and so does the realisation that I've neglected to update my blog. Winter is nearing and hopefully light snow will fall. Then Christmas! Love Christmas. But October the 29th to write about first.
I want to share a book that I'd started a few days ago, by Jostein Gaarder called 'Sophie's World'. It is a book on philosophy, but done in a way that isn't text bookish. The centuries of philosophy are integrated into the story so one can read, learn and enjoy all at the same time.
Yesterday was productive.
I watched The Chronicles of Narnia and the Dawn Treader. It was the best film out of the lot. I suppose that may be because Peter wasn't in it that much and Peter really annoyed me as a character.
Also, I was given 'Too Far' by Rich Shapero. The blurb sounds interesting, but I can't read it yet. I've borrowed Sophie's World, so that needs to be read soon. I'm also reading 'Eldest' in preparation for Inheritance on the 8th of November [:)] and 'Lorna Doone', and I think a forth book may be going 'Too Far'.
One more piece of news. On the university front, I've decided that the way forward is a Philosophy and Religious Studies course.
In the beginning I was going to do a Genetics Degree, but everyone has only recently decided that they want their genetical students to have at least AS in Chemistry, which I don't do. This really hacked me off because, not only has my two-year ambition been shattered, but all people that I know that have done a genetical degree have said that the chemistry involved is easier that GCSE Chemistry!
So I can't do anything animal-based at uni; that leaves me with Religious Studies. I know that there are other biology degrees at uni, but I only like the evolution/genetics parts of biology and I hate everything else in it.
Philosophy and Religious Studies is the answer because I love everything incorporated within it.
