First day, lots of paperwork and introduction meetings. Why all of this couldn't have been done on enrolment or enrolment done today is beyond me.
I arrived more than early - I had to be in at 10, but I was doing a Monday morning traffic practice as I normally have to be in for 9am so hit all the rush hour traffic... But, I made it to the University building for 8.50, so I'm pretty certain that it's not as bad as I first thought. But maybe I am naive.
My timetable seems rather nice, Friday afternoons off for the most part and the occasional late start. And so many placements :) There are some really lovely people on the course, and a few that I'm not sure will make good teachers - possibly because they spent their entire first day trying to speak in 'big' words - and I wanted to yell at them and mention that they are training to become PRIMARY school teachers, and there are NO children that will understand. AT ALL. But again, maybe that's just my belief? I've always been one to think you shouldn't talk down to children, but that still means that you have to modify your language to use words that they will understand.
Well, I started my homework last night - one piece completed, one piece planned out of two. And I fear there will be more tonight.
But, right now, I have to head off to Cambridge on my two hour morning drive...

16.09.2012: Enrolment
Today, was enrolment day. I went along at the appointed 10am and joined the queue of 100 or so people - possibly half the course as another load appeared after me. I stood in a line, and then another line and then I received my shiny new student ID and was told to join another line...
After that I was done. I'm not exactly sure what I expected, as I had the days timetable (and it was just enrolment) but I think I wanted a welcome lecture or something before I left. But all in all, I was in Cambridge for less than an hour and achieved pretty much nothing!
TOMORROW is when the lectures start, and when I lose my life to work!
Wish me luck,
