exams finances and plans
exam update.
[just in case anyone is worrying about me.]
this mornings exam was on 'The Bible and the literary Imagination'
answer 4 questions in 3 hours - equally weighted answers, whole thing worth half the module. one question MUST be answered from each section so....
here were the questions i answered:
1) Define TWO of the literary critical terms below and discuss how the use of each affects the reading of the bilical text. Illustrate your answers with examples from biblical texts
- redaction
- narratology
- semiotics
- characterisation
i chose redaction and characterisation seeing as i couldnt for the life of me remember an accurate description of the other two. did okay ish oin this question i think... had a wicked answer for the redaction part as last nights essay was pretty much that... characterisation i screwed up on slightly.. forgot to include aristotles theory of vice and virtue and the whole character definitions... but not fussed.
5. assess the character of Yahweh/the Lord in Job [various passages to be treated as one narrative]
basically the passages given gave a contradictorary view of God and i needed to explain it...
7. Assess the character of samson in Judges 13.2-16.31 Substantiate your answer with textual references.
did fairly well on this one i think... lots of examples used.
8. Provide a critical reading of Daniel 6 with particular focus on plot and irony.
this answer was short but concise. Got the double irony at the end, and a good summary of the plot so am hopeful.
all in all the exam wasnt too unpleasant.
After the exam i headed to FOB, got lots of caffiene and sugar and then headed to the bank, to check my balance. i am so poor at the moment. - the money that went out for the bond and the money i lent out for house and other stuff to various people has left me with 40 quid in one account and 20 in the other. i have 200 quid at my parents house as well which i was given yesterday by my grandma which will cover julys rent [which is 83 quid caus its half rent] so im okay and then my HSBC student overdraft gets extended at the end of July, so thats augusts rent taken care of. I will be getting my wages for last month [120 quid] sometime in the middle of june and will hopefully have my bond of 150 quid back soon too from the old house- although it wouldnt surprise me if that takes a while.... :S
so....
june - 40 quid spending money for three weeks sorted.
july - 83 rent
aug - 173 rent
sept - 173 rent not counting bills yet
--------------
469 quid out
in...
june - 200 + 120
july - 30 + 250
aug - ???
sept - student loan on the 20somethingth. (1000ish)
----------------
600 in.
so im okay... should have my rent money sorted.. theres things missed out of the lists... but thats cause they're already sorted out.
also have another 400 quid emergency avaliable if need be, so yey!
as for the plans?
when i get back look for a new job...
sort out my house, actually make it a home.
think about next year and what i want to do...
big questions.
anyhow.
speaking of plans - if i dont get back on with this then i aint gonna get these essays done.
