I feel like i should write something intelligently witty here. Over this last semester i think that this module has helped alot and taught me a few things, some of which i already knew subconsciously but had never really given thought to and some things that i honestly would never have expected. People will actually publish any rubbish to prove a point.

Let me know what you think. Special mention goes to Adrian.

And so the end is here . I have honestly learnt to debate, critically evaluate and many of skills I have blogged about being so important in lower school, I have learnt and understood now in my third year.
