Den 9 februari och Sydney närmar sig. Landar i Sydney den 11 feb och sen startar orientation day/week den 19 feb. Nervositeten går upp och ner hela tiden och just nu känner jag mig mest peppad. Töntigt ord egentligen, men jag kom inte på nått annat. Kurserna sätter i gång i början av mars och somd et ser ut nu ska jag läsa fyra kurser, units som det tydligen heter där nere. Det ska bli så jäkla skönt att slippa alla journalistikkurser och i stället få skriva utifrån mig själv. Sen har jag petat in några flumkurser i schema också. Jag slänger in kursbeskrivningarna så kan ni som är nyfikna kolla.

Writing Fiction
In this unit students explore, critically examine and write in a range of fictional forms. They critique a wide variety of published fiction in order to enhance their understanding of approaches, possibilities and techniques, thereby developing a greater capacity to write and critically evaluate their own work. Students create their own fiction in the form of written exercises and assignments, which they will have the opportunity to workshop in a supportive critical environment.

English, Text & Writing
This unit covers a number of issues within literary and textual studies and creative writing, focusing on the areas of modernism and postmodernism. It considers the historical and cultural contexts of literary and textual production, examines a variety of literary genres and styles, and covers a range of contemporary critical and theoretical approaches.

Everyday life
This unit introduces students to key themes and issues in the study of everyday life. It draws on different disciplinary areas - especially anthropology, sociology and cultural studies - and different theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine the ways cultural practices and meanings are used to shape human identities and societies in everyday life. It will focus on rituals and routines in the different spaces of everyday life, and the ways these contribute to the production of local worlds and the key cultural categories that give meaning to these worlds. It will include a focus on how we research everyday life.

Introduction to Film Studies
The unit will introduce students to the key theoretical strands of film studies and key concepts in the analysis of film. The unit will explore techniques of narrative, performance, genre, realism and spectatorship, as well as introducing methods to analyse the use of editing, cinematography and sound. A case study of several key historical film movements or genres will introduce students to the study of cinema in its cultural contexts. The unit will also address the transformations in screen cultures as a result of digital technologies and new media.
  
Jag tror att det kommer bli en kick ass semester.
