I'm having a day off work today to do my OU assignment which is sitting in front of me. It looks like a lot of maths which will probably be pretty difficult judging by what I've had to get through over the last few weeks, and I'm not looking forward to starting. So as always, I'm avoiding doing it by checking emails, playing spider solitaire and mucking about in general. This module has been all about how to build a structure without it falling down, in terms of the forces involved and the materials to use. It's rock hard and very dull and has been pretty arduous. If I get through the whole of this course without having a big hissy fit I'll be very surprised. If I get through the degree I'll be even more surprised - at the moment it seems like a bit of an unsurmountable object.
Things at CAT are great. I'm feeling settled in now and getting some really interesting things to do. I've got a big list of stuff that my boss would like me to help sort out or take control of while I'm here, and in amongst them is some stuff that it will be really useful to learn.
I am getting a bit information-fatigued however, and I'd quite like to do something that doesn't involve thinking too hard. Like walking up a mountain maybe.
There's a couple of things about this area that I really like:
- There are loads of sporty things to do, like walk up mountains (Cader Idris is a few miles away) and bike up hills (I got about half way up without stopping the other day...)
- It's full of hippies. The hippies probably wouldn't appreciate me saying that but it's true and it's really nice. Everyone's really relaxed and openminded and when someone has a party, everyone just assumes that they're invited :) And it means that there's loads going on as well like music and dancing and tai chi etc etc...there are lots of creative people about.
Best get on with that assignment then. Bah.
