I’ve just about recovered from my weekend course and what a long weekend it was. The course started around 5pm on Friday afternoon, then we had a 10hr day on Saturday, lasting from 9am until 7pm (obviously with breaks and lunch inbetween), then another 5 hours on Sunday. So that’s nearly 20hrs of learning crammed into a weekend.

Don’t laugh, but I was absolutely shattered by Sunday night. I was still recovering yesterday, hence the lateness in blogging about it. My head was spinning, crammed full of learning, but it was a great experience (apart from getting up at 6am on Saturday and Sunday). I met a lot of lovely people, most of them very young, either still in uni or just graduated. I think I can safely say I was the oldest in the class. I probably even had a couple of years on my tutor. But I never felt out of place and everybody got on with everybody.

Although I’m now partly-qualified, there is a a lot more to the course than I anticpated (including a month’s intensive course) and a lot more money. Whether or not this is achievable is another story. I’ll just have to see what I can do, see what the rest of the year brings me. It would be a shame if this course came to nothing. But hey, at least it’ll look good on my CV.

I’m getting the hang of this learning lark again.
