What to say…

What to say, it’s been a few days now, but I am really at a loss as what to write.
I have always found writing an organic process, if it happens great, but it’s something that can’t be forced because if you try it never quite comes out right.
I thought about trying to write a poem, [...]

Apple - don’t sweat the big stuff

In the past month Apple launced the Mac Air…the lighter thai air notebook which they say will be the next big thing.
And yes very nice it is too, but that isn’t want really makes Apple successful, it’s the small things which have become indespensible in our every day lives which can be used on a [...]

Life at the touch of a button?

I am a gadget fan. I won’t deny it, when it comes to the latest gadget I usually want to get my hands on it even if it’s just to play.
So it was no surprise when yesterday I went into my local Apple store for a browse to walk out with a new iPod Touch.

When I embarked on my soccer referees career five years ago, I will admit that I was a typical player who didn’t actually understand the laws of the game, I thought I did, but until I sat down and took the course I realised that I [...]

There must be more to life than essays

I enjoy my graduate teaching course, I’m learning something new all the time, but there is one thing I hate. The essays.
I have always struggled with essays from when I was young right the way through university and even until today, where I am as we speak supposed to be writing a 2,000 word essay [...]

Silence is golden

I have never considered myself a religious person. I went to a Catholic school when I was a child and even attended the weekly mass, but I never really believed in the noise of it all, it always seemed like a faff to me.
Over time this led me to believe that I didn’t actually believe [...]

Education is free…as long as you can afford it.

Since January 07 I have been taking a postgraduate course in teaching for the over 16 sector. It’s a course I have enjoyed immensely and while I was a little nervous at the thought of going into teaching at the start I have realised that it is something I want to do and continue to [...]
