Am I still Worried?

So am I still worried? Well yes and no. It would be more accurate to say that the worries have been rearranged.

For the majority of the year I would say I…Read more Am I still Worried?

Free Education Protest In Central London-November 2015

Oh No, Reading Lists!

When first year university students are given their reading lists -  I mean after searching their uni website themselves to find them - we don't really pay much attention to them.  "Ha, read in advance? Mate they said first year is a breeze so forget that!"  This leads to the inevitable first semester of each…Read more Oh No, Reading Lists!

Yesterday was quite a fun day at work. I was told to supervise a group of students taking part in a local 'Science Challenge' at my old college.

Grandparents are unique in that we love them dearly because they treat us and…Read more Remembering Our Grandparents

Now Dabbling In The World Of Politics

Yesterday was quite an unusual one for me. I had been told to attend an event at the mosque in the afternoon which was being held as the Secretary of State MP Eric Pickles was visiting.

Arise Student! Arise!

Life is hard when you have to wake up at 7 am. Oh yes, for eons and eons, I have avoided the bleary eyed mornings of waking up before the postman has collected his load for the day and those times when I would wake up for school have disappeared blissfully into the deepest hidey…Read more Arise Student!
