A multitude of birthdays and discovering interests I never knew I'd have!

First of all I have to wish my lovely Dad a very Happy 60th Birthday today, a (slightly) belated Happy 6th Birthday to Lewis and Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law, Shona!

Well it's the start of week 6 of college today. I, however, am at home today as Miss Shortie is ill again - this time some sort of throaty-coughy bug. So I thought it was really about time to update the blog (I hope I don't end up only ever updating here when one of my children is ill).

I thought I'd talk about the classes I'm most enjoying. Comm. 4 is definitely a fave - it's basically English which was the one class I was actually good at at school. But the most surprising ones for me are my History and Politics classes - I honestly thought I'd tolerate them to get through the course but I'm actually becoming very interested in them - so much so that I was considering getting a book about WWI, even though (get this) it's not something we get tested on. I may have to lie down in a darkened room.

I have to admit I'm struggling to 'get' Sociology right now. There's so much to remember! I've done quite a bit of revising on it over the past week so hopefully it's going to start sinking in soon.
