Resumption

I’ve taken an enforced yet also voluntary break from blogging. Initially, there was the deadline to finish a 3,000 word essay. With copious notes and building on an initial 200 words, I completed it in 12 hours (within the 10% excess word limit). I had a further day to complete it but with no classes on Friday, I was very averse to going onto campus on deadline day. So it was completed for Thursday. Being about the Cold War and the North/South divide, after I had submitted it online and handed in a hard copy, I thought I could have mentioned something about ‘American Empire’ – an enduring theme amongst some of the literature. That’ll probably cost me a couple of percentage points on the mark as it is a favoured idea of the lecturer, but overall I am happy with my essay.


Then after that, I was working Friday, Saturday and Sunday 2pm – midnight. Winding down, it was an effort to motivate to do university study (kind of needed everyday), let alone blog. Allied to that I am sorting out the duties that belong to a PCC secretary (i.e. me) with the approach of the APCM in April. Busy, busy, busy. I am getting ready for the next essay but that’s not for a whole month. Maybe I can permit myself a slight return to the blog.
