Tutorials

I have come to conclusion that despite my need to meet requirements for my major I have a very distinct privilege to pursue deep passions of mine here at Oxford. I am fulfilling three requirements, Theology, Upper division writing, and upper division general education, but I am not sure if all will be accepted by the university. As it stands right now, I have permission to take my tutorials in the direction I presented before the term started but I had to split up my primary into two chunks with two different tutors. Also instead of taking "Advanced Composition", as APU calls it, my tutorial is Creative Writing now - plain and simple. It won't be accepted towards the intended academic requirement but I have been dying to have direction in my writing so I couldn't imagine it any other way. For those who don't know, I am starting to write a novel. I will have to post it up on this blog, or possibly my other blog so that the progression of it can be seen.

As for my tutorials in general, I am thoroughly excited for what is to come. My primary tutor for Creative Writing is a highly sought after tutor who is well qualified in the area having published several novels himself. He is very approachable and passionate about his work and showed genuine interest to my novel idea, which was a pleasant surprise and very encouraging. The tutor for my secondary is a very young (probably around 25+), beautiful New Zealander who specializes in Children's Lit. and C.S. Lewis. The direction she has prescribed is very fitting and I am very much looking forward to working with her.

That is all for now. Have a great day!
