What next?
Mood:  celebratory
I submitted my final examinable component on Wednesday 8th. Cut-off date was 9th October so I felt pretty happy that it was early. But what to do with all my spare time.

I've bought Pompeii by Robert Harris but I haven't actually started to read it. After 8 months of intensive online studying, I can't get away from the feeling that I didn't ought to read anything not course-related. I guess that will pass.

I have been able to start practising my instruments again - the piano accordion and the euphonium. They say that the families of distant students have to put up with a lot when they are studying. In my case I suspect that they may well have more to put up with when I'm not studying as both instruments are extremely loud. Indeed, sometimes I wonder if I might be luring ships aground in the fog when playing the Euphonium.

Still, no more studying for me. This was my final year and by Christmas I should have a Masters in Online and Distance Learning from the Open University. Wow.

Still adjusting to the idea.
