Today has certainly been interesting so far. But, to fully comprehend the first event, one must first understand how my course works.
I'm doing a 'Specialised Award': Religions, Philosophies and Ethics. Study of Religions is one half course that people can do, as in Philosophy and Ethics.
Each year is made up of 120 credits. Different module are worth different credits. Usually, core modules are 40 and optional modules are 20.
Usually, if one is studying single/double honours, as long as they do the core subjects of their subjects, they can do other modules from other subjects. However, with a specialised award, the only other optional modules available are ones that are directly relevant to the title.
This year, I do four modules. One core philosophy (40), one core religion (40), one religion/philosophy that is compulsory for my 'Specialised Award' (20), and then the last (20) is the optional module. I chose to do about the Renaissance. As religion and philosophy was highly important during this period, that is why it is an option for me.
Anyway, I was meant to have my first lecture today. The first was going to be about the Renaissance, from three until five. So, in the morning I check my email account and there is an email from a lecturer at the uni that I've never heard of before. In opening it, it was from the lecturer who does the Renaissance module. No lecture today! I was all geared up yesterday to start learning again and then this happens, though never mind. It means I can have dinner at normal time. It also means my first lecture will be on philosophy. All in all, it's not the end of the world. If nothing else, it gives me a chance to rest some more.

This article was very fascinating. It's highly deviant from the rest of this, though To say anything about it would completely ruin the read, so I do urge you to read it.
