Uni starts again next week. I'm feeling quite excited about it, despite having a degree of dread as well - where will I fit it all in?
I'm taking a subject in Young Adult fiction, which requires me to read a number of books in my chosen genre of young adult fiction (there are a number of book lists supplied by the lecturer, but they are just suggestions, as are the genres she's come up with), then write a 3000 word creative piece in that genre - either a short story or a first chapter plus novel synopsis - and an exegesis examining three of the novels I've read, analysing the way they fit into that genre, and using them to support some contention about the genre (which the creative piece may possibly then work against).
Uni hasn't officially started yet, as I said, but already there is much discussion on the course discussion site (I'm doing all my courses online, as I have probably said, though most of them have some people doing them in class as well), which is encouraging. The level of online discussion has been somewhat variable. So I'm feeling very enthused to get back into it. In fact, I'd be looking at the site now, but the deakin web server seems to be down. So I should really go to bed...
