I have a secret… I’ve been enjoying Dr Faustus.  I can’t quite explain it.  I thought I would hate reading it, dreading it and putting it off for so long.  I don’t though.  I think the secret of the reading lies in the BBC play that the OU provided with the course.  I listen to the play on my iPod and read the book.  It’s actually very good.

So it’s week two of my course, my attention has been diverted from reading Faustus to Cezanne.  This is now where my worries lie.  Will I get it.  I just like to look at art and say “that’s nice” or “is that really art?”.  I also wasn’t bothered about writing essays, I did well at school, why wouldn’t it be hard now? Well I ended up looking at books in Waterstone’s the other day.  Now, I’m bricking it.  Understandably I’d say.

Anyway, course is now under way, and I actually enjoy what I’m doing so I’m hoping it will remain enjoyable
