Train journeys and Public Affairs

It might have only been seven weeks since starting the course but I feel as if I have been here a lot longer given the amount of work done in this time – certainly a lot more than university!

Unlike school there is no half-term so a weekend off is to be cherished. I spent a couple of days up in Manchester seeing friends.

It was an excellent weekend, helped a bit by Brentford’s 3-0 win over Tranmere.

While I was possibly more physically tired, the break refreshed my spirits and had given me renewed energy to passing this course.

I also used the weekend to dedicate some time to Public Affairs, having spent a good proportion of the six weeks getting to grips with shorthand.

The weekend provided the perfect opportunity, with some hours (thankfully not days) on Virgin Trains, to get on with some reading.

Public Affairs is proving to be very interesting and it is fascinating seeing elements of what I have been reading on the news.

We were looking in depth at child services this week and I read today about a family who were reunited with their autistic son who spent eight months in care.

Shorthand, being the hardest subject I’ve studied since Physics, has been given the most time but I felt better after giving Public Affairs a bit of attention.

The plan is now to spend some time in the coming week looking at Law.
