Studying Classical Studies at the Open University. Love reading, sleeping, and settling down in front of the TV with a good documentary or comedy series.
My module textbooks for year 5 of The Open University module A340 - The Roman Empire have arrived. Not long to go until the module website opens and I can get properly started!
