Hi, this is my user page!

I am a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) student majoring in Modern History and English. I love political, labour history as well as fantasy, sci-fi and Gothic texts. I'm also a part-time high school tutor.

I have a cat named Zuko who is very naughty and has learnt to open pantry doors.

Excited to start this unit!

Picture of the day

Venus Anadyomene is an oil-on-canvas painting by Titian, dating to around 1520. It depicts the Greek goddess Venus rising from the sea and wringing her hair, with a shell visible at the bottom left, taken from a description of Venus by the Greek poet Hesiod in which she was born fully-grown from a shell. The wringing of her hair is a direct imitation of Apelles's lost masterwork, also called Venus Anadyomene. The painting is in good condition and achieved public ownership in 2003 when it was purchased from Francis Egerton, 7th Duke of Sutherland. It is now in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland.Painting credit: Titian
