Back to College!

Back to College, the New Term is almost over, and already the Autumn is here!.The
first Assignment is approaching fast.!We have had our first lecture on Art Therapy, and workshops on same...interesting.
Have begun the research Methodology, and we are deciding on themes for the final thesis.I am torn between the idea of Differation, (students with specific learning needs at both ends of the spectrum) and colour blindness, which is very common among boys ?.
We had our first inspection in School last week and I am completely jaded after that.Looking forward to some fresh air over the break, having a lie in (or should that be lye on )in bed, and getting up to date with the washing!.
We have a new addition to the family, in the form of an eight week old boxer puppy called "Lilah," so Roxy has a little sister to keep her company!.

I would like to be a dot in a painting by Miro.

Barely distinguishable from other dots,
it's true, but quite uniquely placed.
And from my dark centre

I'd survey the beauty of the linescape
and wonder -- would it be worthwhile
to roll myself towards the lemon stripe,

Centrally poised, and push my curves
against its edge, to give myself
a little attention?

But it's fine where I am.
I'll never make out what's going on
around me, and that's the joy of it.

The fact that I'm not a perfect circle
makes me more interesting in this world.
People will stare forever --

Even the most unemotional get excited.
So here I am, on the edge of animation,
a dream, a dance,a fantastic construction,

A child's adventure.
And nothing in this tawny sky
can get too close, or move too far away."

Last post.

Hey fellow bloggers, last post of the year, can you believe it?...Dont know where the time went...Steepest learning curve I have been on in a while.A few more days and the first year is over.Exhausted,have to summon up the strength to get me thru the next few weeks. looking forward to a good eight hours sleep,esp,on Sat mornings,clean clothes,sorting out the house again and loads and loads of TEA.
It has been a great year tho, learned to type, format, save stuff,use the digital camera and up load photos to blog.created a blog, with links to sites.Googled for Ireland..which I thoroughly enjoyed.Made my own stop gap animation and figured out how to post it to the blog. Researched and Typed my first Assignments (in over 25 yrs...Holy God that WAS scary).Used a mac for the first time and used photos Id taken to do photoshop.Buried my dear old dad in the middle of it all,know he is looking over me and proud as hell...because he would be, and mam too.
Two assignments to go.Come on Ger, get into gear..calling on all reserves of energy here to get me to the finish line...but first, thnk I 'll "have a quick one, in my hand, while I'm standing....
