Tuesdady night class...

At 6:00pm our class began.
It is now 9:13pm and our guest speakers are still here.
Granted our speakers did not arrive until after dinner had concluded, but the dinner with Mark and Carol was basically class. As usual. Not to complain, but there you have it.
(Don't worry, the students were dismissed. It's time for adult talk. We are all gratefully hiding in our rooms, the basement or the kitchen cupboard... We wouldn't be rude. That's not what we do.)

Today was the third lecture for Cognitive Psychology. It was nice to be in a lecture and realize that I may acutally be in the right major. Not only did I know enough background information to breeze through the lecture, but I actually enjoyed it and eagerly lapped up the new material. After lecture I signed up for tutorials (the first is on the 27th and the rest will be held fortnightly until the conclusion of term). Much to my surprise, we have more than five books out of which we are to read several chapters prior to discussioni in tutorials. Apparently they do study over here. I am optimistic and hope that I will enjoy the impending reading.

Tonight, the agenda includes more homework, journaling, triming Kevin's hair, planning meals for the next two weeks and procrastinating, as usual. Another side note, bunches of people have been getting Skype so they can talk to all of their crazy friends that are abroad. It is really nice to hear familiar voices from thousands of miles away. Anyway, back to the books. Goodnight.

Great to hear the classes hold promise and that the start of the semester will bring a little routine to daily life. Skype is the best and I glad to hear its use is spreading.

I'm seeing Britishisms creep in - such as 'fortnightly'. (I love them!) Do you have an accent yet??
