Happy Bloody New Year!


I socialised on both a family and friend level over the Xmas break, and did no work whatsoever! Although, I did sign myself up for a Philosophy of Language course at the Lifelong learning centre, on Tuesday eves. Having dealt with all my college classes without too much difficulty, this course should provide more of a taste of the level of lectures I’m likely to get when studying Linguistics at Uni. I borrowed the set course book from the library, and it looks well heavy! I tried to have a flip through the intro, but it required a degree of concentration I was unable to supply at the time; I’ll wait until after the first lecture to have another look. Hopefully, it’ll make more sense then.

Gols for this week:

Beg, Borrow, Buy or Steal a diary!

Spanish – read through old essays, and consider a topic for my presentation. I should ask Jordi if I can do something about mobile phone usage!

Literature – try and write a short piece about the techniques used in Secrets; that’s what Madeleine said I was short on.

French – Read through old notes, and transfer them to new notebook. Well, start doing this at least!

Communication – We didn’t really have a full class last Thursday. Scott did return my opinion piece, which was fine although I did make a couple of typos and had too many exclamation marks!!!!!!!

History - I want to have at least 1000 words written on the Labour Govt. by the weekend. This could, of course, be altered by new assignments for other classes! I should also draw up a short list for potential subjects to investigate.

“Language Instinct” – shall we say read another 2 chapters? A lot depends on how I’m feeling; there’s no point in trying to read if I’m tired or unfocussed!
