You are standing outside, its just about to rain, sky is grey but its warm, dry and perhaps with a warm breeze. I think that’s my favourite type of weather, its the feeling you get inside, kind of twilight zone!
Anyhoo, it’s been busy the last few weeks but I feel that I am not getting anywhere. One thing I have succeeded in doing is getting all my personal statements and applications written for university next year. Writing a personal statement this time round was so much easier than when I did UCAS back in 2002… Hopefully that is a good thing as I have done many things over the last few years that have made me a more interesting person?
I went to visit all my Medic friends from St Andrew the other weekend in Manchester. It was so great to see all of them again and know that they are all getting on well in Manchester. I also got to stay with Bex in her house there. I really would like to get a nice house for next year that I actually really like, as I am fed up with living in places that seem to suit the people I am living with but not me.
The website for university is coming along very slowly. My computer decided to die on me last weekend so I have been living in the PC Classrooms for the last week! Hopefully I have most of it written now and the basic design done. Now I just need to make it look fab and something that people can actively engage in, almost inspiring in away as that will encourage people to learn. I think I am starting to get the hang of these journal articles that I am reading for Uni all the time now. It’s hard at first when you have never read them before. There is defiantly a technique to reading them (especially the experiment ones) and not falling asleep in the process!
I have nearly finished the 6th season of damsons creek that jamima kindly lent to me. The way that they talk like psychologists all the time is quite entertaining. I wonder what it would be like if you could go into a situation and talk like what you are saying has been written by a committee of writers and redrafted about 10 times so that it is word perfect!
That reminds me of another thing that that always makes me smile. In TV drama shows they always play “situation” music. So when there is some crunch moment there will be dramatic music playing that adds to the effect. I think it would be fun to walk around with a tape player for a day, with sentimental music on, and then switch it on every time a crisis arose!
Well that’s all for this time, One thing this blog is teaching me is how many things actually happen in just a few weeks, its amazing what you forget as you naturally focus on the big things that happen.
