This university life is meant to be easy right? My brother occasionally takes the piss and implies I sit around all day doing f’all. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to make my brain remember calculus and partial differentiation, whilst planning PAL sessions for the first years, looking after a family, travelling the 65 miles each way, yada, yada, yada. At least the hubster has apologised for his behaviour yesterday, my psyche feels a bit less fragile and strong enough to keep at it.
Disappointingly today was meant to be a ‘fast day’, but an open packet of flour tortillas and a jar of Nutella put paid to that. At least I skipped lunch and have a low cal dinner so it’s not the end of the world (unless my legs walk me over to the University shop and make me buy chocolate).
I wish I was capable of independent thought, I’m really struggling to get into this whole PAL leader thing. How do I get students who know little to teach each other a new subject? Its got to be fun, a game, and I can’t teach of course. Adult brain needs to kick in so I can break this down into the sum of it’s parts and get through it. I want to it to ‘be’ my comfort zone, rather than be the furthest thing from it.
