Induction

It's Day 2 of the first week, all of which seems to be taken up with induction -- so there is a great deal of running round campuses, being talked at and attempting to get to know the names of fellow students. Some of us are longing to get on with it, but I anticipated this would be quite a boring week and am not too distressed. In addition to the glass course, I have signed up for digital photography and life drawing evening classes. It's a bit displacing being a student again.

My digs are dreary and unaesthetic, but could be a lot worse. I have a sunny view of the Malvern Hills, the house seems fairly quiet and quite well appointed. The landlord is a pleasant, bluff sort of fellow who is reasonably eager to please. It's not his fault he has such dire taste.

At least the sun is shining.
