The Courage to Be...

So the next module has started and what a relief I am only studying one and not two like last semester. The subject is existential and human issues and is 100% my area of interest. Heavy mind bending stuff but I cannot help feeling that it is more relevant than ever.

Due to receive the results from the first two assignments in February so fingers and toes crossed.

Meanwhile Manchester have offered to defer my PhD place until Oct 2009 which keeps that possibility open.

I must say Sheffield is an extremley funky uni.

'Since every day a little of our life is taken from us - since we are dying every day - the final hour when we cease to exist does not of itself bring death, it merely completes the death process. The horrors connected with it are a matter of imagination. They vanish when the mask is taken from the image of death.' Paul Tillich
