I couldn't agree more with your view on the humanities. The clue is in it's name. Human ities. Why would we not study ourselves and the things we do???I'm not 100% sure yet RC. A jobseekers payment is meant for those actively looking for work but I was left with the impression my course would count & I would get the govt., payment. When you think about my situation it's insane. As for changing courses, none of the courses that I could be paid for are suitable. I am seriously numerically challenged. I quite literally can't add up a column of figures straight so all the sciences are out even if I had any interest ~ which I don't. The only science I really like is what I call *speculative science*.ie; what would happen if you could attach 2 black holes & travel through them? Not possible but some of the theory is fascinating. I'm not interested in law [all that arguing
] or medicine or anything that involves blood & cutting tissue up or numbers but I can participate reasonably intelligently in any of the Arts areas & it's the one area least valued by society. While I like the quote usually attributed to Churchill on the arts [then, what are we fighting for?] sadly it's bogus, or @ best unverifiable, so I'll go with: The arts are essential to any complete national life. The State owes it to itself to sustain and encourage them…Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the reverence and delight which are their due.
Good morning folks in AU, have a great day... I hope this isn't redundant.
She did Camelot with the RAB & I think the male dancers did her head in. Anyway the girl chose a modern piece & it blew her mind as the dancers obviously had to be incredibly fit & quite sporty.
