Writer's Blog 2009-09-28

First day back at uni today and it feels like I've never been away.

My first lesson was Communication and Persuasion. Not as dull as it might first sound. We had an engaging tutor and I think these lessons will be most interesting. What she showed us today was a speech by Gordon Brown, when he first took office. He is quite possibly the person least capable of giving a speech I've seen in a while. In keeping with the theme of the subject he looked like he was trying to convince himself he was capable of running the country, while watching a very slow tennis match. His head kept moving from side to side.

So work most of the day, writing and reading mostly.

Then I had Writing for Children. The teacher messed up on what room it was, I eventually found it however. I think this subject will be very interesting. I'm looking forward to the weird stuff you can do when writing for children.

There will be posts now probably on Wednesday, as I have lessons all day tomorrow.

I look forward to comments.

"We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought that I'd marry? She is a prideful, arrogant, mercurial woman who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste. And yet... I love her deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle, our desire for glory and honor above all else... but how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with? Honor gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart."
