Finally, I'm back at uni! It's been a dull couple of days, full of all the induction stuff and the inevitable confusion that comes with many forms. We had to register for our modules again because the computers lost all our information. Why we couldn't just fill out the usual sheet in the first place, I don't know. They've also cancelled the Stalin module due to lack of interest. I'm annoyed! I was looking forward to that, and last night I bought Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar.
Now I'm taking:
History Independent Study.
Voices and Votes.
Observing the Thirties.
Entertainment, Sentiment and Conflict: Popular Culture.
The Rise and Downfall of the Nazis.
Studies in Alienation.
I'm only in for two (very full days) a week this semester, which is good because I need to wrangle a placement in a primary school so I can apply to do a PGCE. I'd rather spend every spare minute in the library, dedicated to my futile attempt to get a first, but I know it needs to be done.
The Little Stranger was wonderful and terrifying; full of tension as a class system and their manor house fall down around an aristocractic family. The only problem was that I spent most of the novel suspecting the maid... I think I was waiting for a Sarah Waters twist.
