Students

I've seen a couple of students around town and now cards and messages are coming through to me too... which is lovely. I thought I'd respond to those who signed my card, and any student who wants to can keep in touch through here or via my work email, which I am still using. It is GREAT being able to delete all the general "work" email and just read friendly stuff!

@ Charlotte M - bless you for your words in the card, you are very kind.
@ Emma C - I am sure that you will get good support from Celia too - and the way you keep working and drafting will surely help you to get good coursework marks again this year.
@ Nat S. I REALLY want you to email me (ask Celia if you don't know how) I need to know how you are progressing with the things we talked about last year.
@ Matt B - we haven't really had time to get to know each other, but since they have put Nigel in charge of our tutorial you have passed into the safest hands!
@ Chris F - now then! *adopts stern voice*. You have got all the potential in the world to get a top grade - so make sure you do plenty of indept. study to build on what you've got already!
@ Becky M - I dunno if it was faith, exactly, but I was always sure that you could fly in this subject, and you proved me right - your first piece of coursework was one of the best I've ever seen for a listening audience. I will be keeping an ear out to make sure you keep on track this year!
@ Matt N - bless you for your kind words. You will find Celia very good for your A2 work.
@ M Areeb - you are another one who did very good coursework, you've made such great progress since your first year in the college, and you should feel rightly proud of yourself.
@ Saiqa - Apart from being amazed that you're still there I will be keeping an ear out to make sure you stay on track this time! Thanks for your enthusiastic words - I'm deeply touched by them.
@ Sam B - thanks for your kindness. I am sure you will make great progress this year.
@ "little Sam" - surely I never used a size-ist term like that? .. is that what your mates call you? I am getting littler myself tho - this condition is like a fierce diet!
@ Sophie - I am delighted that you are carrying on with A2,can you remember what I said to you on results day?
@ Kieran .... I will miss you too, you surely did add to the entertainment factor last year! Did I really "shout" at you!
@ Holly - congratulations on still being there. Try to focus on a bit of study from time to time this year, my dear!
@ BECKY - ah, yes indeed, you made me laugh out loud with that comment. I was right about you, and I hope that you are right about me too.
@ Hanna - I look forward to seeing you all again too.

Some people don't understand why I am still thinking of work, but what else can I do with my mind? Ponder on sickness? You young people are at the heart of my life, and I do enjoy your company and helping you with your learning, so as long as I am well enough to type and chatter I will want to keep hearing about you and offering support if I can.
