I'm feeling somewhat less than robust this morning. Not actually unwell, or even tired, but as though I might be, if given provocation.

Livejournal's post-by-mail seems to be a bit flaky. I wrote the barbecue report at lunchtime (hitting send around 12:55) yesterday, but it didn't appear until after 21:30.

I must remember to take the umbrella today.

I must remember to take my fighting gear today.

I really should start work on the next block of the OU material, too. The associated essay is not due until the 13th of August, but that means there's a hell of a lot of it. Fortunately, it's the literature bit, and I've already read everything once. Unfortunately, the novel part of it is Wide Sargasso Sea, which I really don't like all that much. I'll cope.

I'm still debating how to continue the OU studies. Literature is the area I was originally most interested in. I still am interested in it. But the religious studies block was a lot of fun, and the historical parts so far have been excellent. I don't have to make my mind up for a while yet, anyway.

Is this Open University? A concept we don't have over here and one that intrigues me.

As a fledgling lit. professor (part-time, not quite graduated division) I'd say that lit, history and religious studies can all be so intertwined that if you can work them together, do.

The extra rigour of history is certainly appealing.

Religion and history are so intertwined, before the death of god in the 20th century, that we could say the history of the world /is/ the history of religion... Discuss.
