The Worm Has Turned

Its been a funny sort of week and its only Monday!

I find it very difficult to prepare myself for college after the weekend. The feeling reminds me of when I was a little girl and absolutely dreaded the thought of having to go back to school and would have done almost anything to get out of it.

But being the brave soldier that I am, I would not succumb to, or even think about skiving! (If you believe that then you will believe anything).

This afternoons session again, involved the use of computers and entailed working our way around the SAGE finance package. I must admit I was feeling rather annoyed today as we seemed to be covering old ground due to the fact that some students couldn't be bothered to work last week.

This had a knock on effect and meant repeating stuff that we had already done. Time is precious and it really angers me that this wasted time could have been put to better use in the work place. Taking a day out from work is so time consuming and it means playing catch up the rest of the week.

Excuse me, I feel a Victor Meldrew moment coming on !!

Today has been an eye-opener for me and my college colleague. We had fired up our PCs ready to tackle SAGE and raring to go. After having a quick shufty around the classroom, we seemed to be the only ones logged into the programme.

The Three Witches of Eastwick who had turned into two, were on a different planet. One was tuned into restaurants in Birmingham and the other was into tarot card readings. One of the witches was also having a conversation on her mobile discussing the previous nights television programmes. Another reprobate was looking at the spec of i-pods.

My colleague and I just looked at each other in disbelief. She signalled to me WTF is going on here. I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head. I am desperately losing the will to live !

All of a sudden the session was cut short. Bham ! Our tutor had lost his blob! He told us to pack up and backup the work we had done. He then singled out the degenerates and told them he was really pissed off with their behaviour. Good on yer!! Should have been said long ago.

With a bit of luck they will be history next week!

After this afternoons session I was like a druggie - all hyped up with adrenalin pumping through my veins and I couldn't wait for the evening session to commence. It turned out to be one of the best. My brain seemed for once, to except everything the tutor was telling me, and yes, it really did sink in.

Is Granny actually enjoying this whole AAT business !!
