Park Avenue Victorian Monstrosity...

And since I'm posting photos again - funnily enough, I've can announce that I've just found the USB cable that links my camera to my PC - here is a picture of the large fountain that is sat in the middle of my street for no reason at all.

If you follow the road to the right, I'm about 200 yards away on the right hand side...

And here it is!!

Well, that's not strictly true. Here is my share of the marking from my "Learning and Working" module - the one I actually manage and can dictate. On the left are the 2,500 word essays on the effects of anxiety on exam performance that I have marked; on the right, the ones I still have to mark. The end is in sight!!

I had three modules to mark, so this represents 1/3rd of my marking over the last week and a half. And people wonder why I wasn't blogging... ;-)

Hee hee!

I haven't updated in ages.

No worries though, as tomorrow, I will be uploading a photo of the GIGANTIC marking pile I've been working through this last fortnight. Go go gadget hand cramp!

Argh!!

Cherie Booth is speaking here at Uni tomorrow. *sob*

The Grass is not always greener

It's not.

After this morning, I can honestly vouch for the fact that exam invigilation is extremely boring. I even thought about having a go at the exam itself (2 hours) but since it was entitled: "The novel from Austen to Hardy", I didn't bother! :)

From Blair to Brown

Hmmm.... every other post on here seems to be in the "oops, haven't updated in ages" category!! Sorry about that. It's been hectic, and I tend to update from work, rather than from home. When I switch my PC on, it's to get straight into "Command & Conquer 3", or "Oblivion", and I'm far too busy playing games - yes, not "World of Warcraft" - to bother logging on. I seem to be avoiding logging on recently. I blame AVG (Anti-Virus Guard) for having a life of it's own whenever I connect to the Web. Blasted thing - I really, really hate constant pop-ups in the bottom right of my screen... :)

But, to the news. Tony Blair is finally *FINALLY* stepping down. You'll all know that I'm a Tory at heart - even though I have found it hard to vote Conservative in the past. But now that Blair is finally going, there's a spring in my step. I don't hate the man, but I was just so fed up of him being on TV all the time - ironically, his resignation is all over the news at the moment - and I'm looking forward to having a good laugh when Gordon Brown gets in - he'll be a disaster, I bet you.
