England

1. reason for choosing agrarian, before i forget and start regretting: the woman in ADD adviced me to drop it and I felt quite constricted, cound’t let go. So I took her other advice and looked at the exam questions: made up my mind in a jiffy…the issues in the gender questions, i didn’t really wan’t to answer those questions, but the agrarian ones I did, and what’s more, they didn’t seem out of my league.

It’s proving difficult to enjoy when the reading is compulsory…but the topic is recurrant both in TPP and PED…also overall important because the issues are so important. I’m being turned off by the references to prices etc and marxism…mulling over. gender would be easier, and they’re not completely uninteresting, but no reading is easy, really.

I think I’ll take gender after all. i did try a lot to take agrarian, but it’s too risky to do an essay on because it’s totally theoritical (and I haven’t had time to talk to Ishita or have a PED lecture on it), so much easier to make mistakes. Aid would be much fun, really, because it has something to do with the real world. Gender readings wouldn’t be that easy, but at the end of the day I’ll get a grip on the issue (maybe read a couple of extra articles, which would be akin to torture in agrarian) In agrarian I can stay on time with the readins and will still fail to get a good idea of theoritical underpinnings. Really, it’s much cooler in my head, like the London Eye which I never see but not so much when I actually am having to sift through the material when I start thinking ‘who cares??’ given that’s what I also think of gender, but it at least is better for my nerve. I looked at the gender questions again, they’re not that uninteresting.  Agrarian questions also look depending on how i’m feeling.

Much bigger risk in agrarian, I do have to think of my grades. Also, I was really interested from the econ lectures of Di John, but the course doesn’t have that much similarity with that.
