Foreign Perspectives

I really must stop looking at the Open University prospectus! It’s even more dangerous than looking at estate agents brochures: at least with them you know you can’t afford to do buy a new house all the time.

Anyway, now that I’m nearing the end of my modern languages degree I’ve started looking around for something to do afterwards. So far, that has only had one serious possibility in the frame ie the chemistry degree that I was always meaning to do but never got around to.

However, there’s now another possibility: an English degree. As with the modern languages it seems like a long way off but notionally I’ll have done the first course of it by this time next year so there would “only” be five more courses to do from that and I know from chatting with some other folk that at least two of those courses are very interesting indeed.

Still, way too early to be worrying about it now. I might just get some of the set books for one or two of the courses in the meantime. Just to see what the course might be like you understand. No intention of doing them at all. No siree bob!
