Basically I have been so busy what with work, getting ito a new routine, and CU things, that I havent been able to blog as much as I would have liked to. It's been fairly stressful this year so far, with the knowledge that I want to do more work than what I did last year, but seemingly having less time to do it! And sometimes not feeling motivated to do it either! So I thought that I would come into the library and actually look like i'm doing some owrk (and I'm kind of fooling myself here at the moment too!)
The Module Brave New Worlds (Utopias and Dystopias) are really interesting, but also really challenging. I mean being a Christian in my lesson is sometimes really difficult, especially in this particular module, because the books that we read within the module are without God, and derriding religion, and derriding any form of religion, making their own religions up, and also getting the ideas of Christianity but using other things to fill the spaces! We were looking at Kumar's 4 ideals that makes literature a Utopia, these are
1)Desire
2)Harmony
3)Hope
4)Design
Man, when they said that in the lesson, I looked over to my friend who is also a Christian, and said to him, looks quite familiar don't you think! I mean it seems like he's taken Christian principles, and put them in a secular way.
The good thing that has come out of all of this is that I have a private study project that I can do, and I have chosen to do a reading diary (stating my thought on the seminars, and the reading that I've done) so, although I didn't say it in the actual seminar, I will be saying how like Chrsitianity it is, in my project! Its a bit scary though because it might be thought of as not being on the right track or being marked down because its a bit outrageous, but i'm gonna give it a go!
