Well this week is going to be utterly mental, methinks. We have Andrew's 8th birthday on Saturday and to celebrate he's having a wee sleepover on Friday night, so this house needs gutted. On Sunday we do the Race for Life and there's costumes to be made for that (for explanation go here. I also have my Politics assessment on Friday and need to prepare for that (help!).
The fact that I almost have an 8 year old is quite terrifying. It really seems like no time since he was a tiny wee chicken-legged bundle, and now he's too big for me to lift up without doing myself some sort of injury.
Anyway, today is an anti-Procrastination day. There is much to be done and I have to do it.
Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. ~William James

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.
