Frequent? What does that mean?
It would appear that I’ve neglected this ‘ere site of mine while I gadded about at university. But fear not, for a couple of weeks ago I returned for the Christmas vacation. Yes, that’s right, I get about 6 weeks break at Christmas.
So what’s a term at university like? Well, I can only speak for my university, but I think utterly insane would just about cover it. I’d wager there are few other places which have events enabling you to sit and eat a four-course meal in suit and academic gown, drinking port older than you and conversing with some of the best professors in the world.
But anyway. University is supposed to change people, and change me it has: I now like mobile phones. Shocking, I know, but it had to happen some time. If I hadn’t got one I would most likely be socially dead. So there’s that.
There’s also the whole learning thing. I can confidently say I’ve learnt quite a lot, including how to play cribbage, contract bridge and three varieties of snap. Oh, and maybe some maths, but I’m not so sure on that one.
Roll on Lent term.
