Still Computerless

Hi,

As you can probably tell from the lack of recent blog entries, my computer is still not working. However, I have now got my work off it - the university computer people rescued it yesterday. I haven't been able to get on with my extended essay this week because of it being trapped on the computer so I won't be able to get as much done this term as I had hoped, particularly as the lectures over the next two weeks are on a theme that I have chosen to study in depth (sensory processing) so I will have more reading to do for that.

I had my first seminar of the term yesterday. It was on virtual auditory reality and we had to present a research paper in pairs to the rest of the group. It seemed to be a good way to get an overview of several papers and to be able to ask questions about them without having to read them all in detail. I have one more seminar booked for this term, right at the end.

I also had a tutorial yesterday, on the role of spontaneous activity in develpoment of the nervous system. I found that quite useful too, although it relates to a theme that I don't have lectures on until next term so I think it will fit in better once I've done them. Apart from that, I've had a meeting with my college tutor and the rest of the 3rd year medics in college to discuss extended essays, and I have an individual tutorial with him on Tuesday to talk about my essay in more detail.

I better get on with the essay now that I have it back, before I go to see Harry Potter tonight!

Bye!
