Foreign Perspectives

If you cast your mind back to early October, you may recall me saying that I’d be back for the resit of the French exam next October. Well, yesterday those plans were thrown into disarray when I passed it! Not even the best that I was expecting October which was a just past the post 40% but a nice comfortable 60%!! Anyway, that means that I’ll be over in Belfast for the graduation instead (May 21st I think).

We’re in the midst of our winter upgrade of the rooms and facilities, or at least planning for it alongside the preparations for the end of year booking. Anyway, as part of that we made our very first technology installation in the rooms this afternoon: a clock/radio. Separately from that, we are hoping to install TVs and DVD players in the main rooms over the next couple of weeks as they’re on sale at the moment (69‚€ for the TV, 49‚€ or the DVD). We also managed to acquire a settee for the reading room which should be turning up on Saturday.

I’m still a bit staggered by the OU news.
