in what context?
I should do, seeing as I'm helping write one at the moment...
Basically, the degree is split into a number of discrete subject blocks, which are assigned a credit value. Qualifications are built up by passing enough modules for each year (it is usually a total of 120 credits a year, so 360 credits for a Bachelors Degree). Most modular courses have 'approved routes' through them: so you need to take a certain number of specific modules to qualify with an award (so if you were taking a Geography BA, you would need to take a certain number of prescribed Geography modules each year), but the 'free' (ie non prescribed) credits could in theory be made up of modules in any subject.
Make sense?
Email/call if you need more

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
