pen and paper?....naw.... podcasts.....

Being a student has all changed since I was a girl. Its all emails and "virtual" tutorials via the University Web "blackboard" rather than simply dragging yourself to a lecture with ballpoint and paper. Podcasts make learning seem like something out of Logan's Run (1976) Now that IS showing my age, but It is all very exciting and new. Some 400 psychologhy students mind you, crammed into PJ Hall ( all clutching ballpoints and paper), was a lttle too much.


Got home at around 7.30pm, exhausted, but did feel a bit better as I overheard four mature students ( from different courses) chatting on the train home about their respective "first days" and how hard and strange it felt. Although I didn't join them, I felt supported and and comforted by their chat!

Sorrel has tearfully gone home, which is a shame, and I know Chris misses her greatly. But, I do think he doen't always realise that his relationship with his mum IS a special and very close one, which is a rare thing !. Not many people are fortunate enough to experience a close bond like they have.

Just enough time to tidy up and walk the dogs, then bed to sleep a nice long sleep!
