wildeabandon: (cambridge)
I've been doing the thing where loads of stuff has been happening, and I've not been posting to DW because I've been busy, and then because I've got so much to post about that I put off updating until I've got time to write about everything that I want to write about, so I'm going to post the big exciting news, and then maybe later fill in some of the gaps...

The big exciting news is that I've decided to go back to university to do a theology degree. Whilst looking into the options I first discovered, rather disappointingly, that it's not permissible to do a second undergraduate degree at Cambridge, but then on closer inspection that in fact it's only sitting for BA(Hons) a second time that isn't allowed, so I guess cocking up the first time and getting an ordinary was part of God's plan all along*.

Obviously I still have to get in, and they want recent qualifications in relevant subjects, so my decades old Maths and Chemistry A-levels aren't going to cut it. I've therefore signed up to take French and Religious Studies in June. I got the study materials about a week ago and have been thoroughly enjoying plunging into them, although I'm already having to hold myself back from being the sort of annoying student who's all 'well, I've been studying the philosophy of religion for all of a few days and clearly Kant was talking complete bobbins about epistemology.'

*I'm not entirely sure how flippant I'm being there.

Good luck on that path, [personal profile] mst3kmoxie is taking a Divinity course this semester (also later in life, and for different reasons), really glad you too found a useful detail in the rules!

At some point I'd be curious to learn more about what you're hoping to get out of the degree. There are plenty of possibilities, of course, just wondering if you had a particular focus, something that you felt would be lacking otherwise.
