| 08.00 | I wake up, get ready for the day and have breakfast with my flat mates. |
| 08:30 | I catch up on some non-class related reading; right now I’m reading A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza. |
| 10:00 | I revise the reading for today’s classes so it’s fresh in my mind during the lectures. |
| 11:15 | Cinema and Photography: Theory. In this class we are introduced to Susan Sontag’s essay on the male gaze and discuss a few relevant case studies. |
| 13:10 | I make myself lunch. |
| 14:00 | I do some readings for next week’s lectures. |
| 15:15 | Cultural Representations and Signifying Practices. Today’s lecture is about popular culture and discusses Foucauldian theory as a way of explaining how Soap Operas can construct an ideal spectator. |
| 17:00 | I go for a walk around the neighbourhood with a friend, and stop for groceries I need for tonight. |
| 19:00 | I cook dinner with my flatmates. |
| 20:00 | I hang out in the common room and put on a movie with the others. |
| 22:00 | I'm off to bed |
