Hop

Hop to it. That’s the feeling at the moment with my four assignments and 10,000 words to write in the next week. It’s possible one can wait, with only a 1% loss of marks per day….
Anyway, my assignments are:

  1. Are you inclined to trust what Augustine tells us about himself in his Confessions?
  2. Were the Merovingians really ‘do nothing kings’ (les rois fainéants)?
  3. Are transitional administrations a form of new imperialism?
  4. Mass media lies at the heart of industrialised culture. Discuss.

Now, up until this point I’ve spent over a week on Augustine – hard going. The last two are the easiest, and the second is the one that can be late, so things aren’t so disastrous.
