Saturday Studies

 Again, feeling like c**p this morning and am staying in bed until I feel better, hopefully by lunchtime.

I'm still working on setting-up my new laptop.

I think that I'm procrastinating in studying poetry. When I feel better, I'm really going to try and get to grips with working on Units 4 and 5.

16:00 Feeling much better since lunchtime.

Today is the first day of studying Unit 4 'First impressions of poetry'.

I'm not so keen on this as I've very little experience of reading poetry, let alone studying and analysing it.

However, although I'm somewhat anxious about it, I'm confident that if I work hard, that I'll get to grips with it.

I'm no longer ahead in the schedule, so I must try and not procastinate. 

18:30 I've just been looking at the Slough Writers Group website. It's reminded me what a nice bunch of people they are. If you're in or around East Berkshire and interested in writing (at any level), take a look at their website which is at www.sloughwriters.org and if you're interested come along to Burnham Working Mens Club on Monday nights (during term time) 7:30pm - 9:30pm. The first two sessions are free, and if you decide to join, it costs £36 per year.
