This semester's reading list for my lit module.
Yea... one module.
In the Castle of My Skin / Lamming
Disgrace / Coetzee
Heart of Darkness / Conrad
Crick Crack, Monkey / Hodge
The Remains of the Day / Ishiguro
Midnight's Children / Rushdie

I had to take this lit module cause I dropped one English module one day before school started... The lecturer cancelled the only tutorial slot that I could make cause of a "small class size". I and at least 5 other people emailed him to inform him we couldn't make it, but his reply was an unsatisfying "It is difficult". Haha I totally see no sense in his answer so I just dropped the module and appealed for this lit module. I guess I won't be learning about the sound system of the English language this sem, but instead burying my nose in these "literary classics" I've actually never heard of.

The first two days in school were really good. So glad to be waking up early and sleeping early. Makes me feel healthier and more active. I predict this feeling will fade after 2 weeks and I'll then dread travelling to school. But I really like lectures and textbooks and readings. And I love buying textbooks and wrapping them up :) And I love lunches with Siyi and Jiexin. And I have more friends this semester - random people whom I know happen to take lectures with me :)
