Holidays are here

9 April 2006

I finished the term at university yesterday – just one more to go!

Well, I say just one more term. I should graduate in June, but owing to the industrial action by NATFHE this could be delayed. All of my lecturers are involved in the "action short of strike action", which means a boycott of marking assessments. Some have said that they are only marking during their employed hours, so our work should be marked eventually, but it could still delay graduation. We wait in hope of a resolution.

I said holidays, but I still have lots of work to keep me busy (apart from the type which pays money). Having the wisdom of a mature student, I chose to write my dissertation last semester, so I don't have that to stress about, unlike most of my fellow students. I do have plenty of essays and research to do, so (in theory) I won't be sitting around over Easter. We'll see how long that lasts!
