Let's be honest: not much reading has been done. I still don't understand why we actually need a reading week, I'm only in uni 10 hours a week and I have Friday's off - so why is there any need to have a whole week off? Those thinking of paying £9000 a year for an Arts degree, just don't. Unless they triple your contact hours. I'm here to learn and be taught, that's what I'm paying for, is that too much to ask? Well, in a word, yes. Arts courses seem to be here merely to subsidise science ones. Science degrees have more contact hours and God knows how many resources - be it chemicals, labs, cadavers. What do we get, a few tatty books in the library that are always on loan and a few lectures a week. And all for the same tuition fees. Fair? I think not.
Rant over.
This reading week has been quite productive! Started planning for my Horror essay and had a JOMEC away day yesterday! The away day was actually really good - some useful (and some not so useful) lectures on what to do after uni* plus an amazing free lunch, tea, coffee and a pint! We also got to spend our lunch break in the sun on the beach, perfecto! The away day was then followed by a course social, and boy am I feeling the effects now! Hello hangover central!
The brother and father are coming down on Saturday as we've got tickets to the Wales v Italy game in the 6 Nations! So looking forward to that! You really can't beat the atmosphere in the Millennium Stadium at a Wales game! Anyway, I should probably do something about this hangover and get cracking with this essay!

*What I'm going to do after uni is still beyond me, seems like the best and only option is to have kids and be a housewife. KIDDING (kind of).
