Universities and all that

OK like many people Ive been hit by this flu virus thingy whatever. Nough said.


Well its hard to believe but its daughter's final year at Uni..June and its all over. OK we've got to get over graduation day yet and no Im not wearing hat or fascinator, which by the way is a stupid word for a stupid item...apologies to those who think they are fantastic items .

Anyway daughter is having to fill in a havent we been fantastic university survey. For my half pen'orth I can disagree,,not going to effect my employment status but apparently undercurrent from Uni lecturers is that if you dont play nicely could effect students prospects. (for her comments http://khinjarsi.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-khinjarsi.htm)


Given the costs of going to University these days I think the universities need to stop hiding behind manipulated information. In fact like other businesses. I think they should be forced to do an itemised bill explaining how they have spent individual students fees. If you have 3 lectures a week how can this be on same level as those that have  6 lectures etc. As for new students having to pay up to £9000 (and it was quite obvious that once one University started charging that much every other one would (apologies to any that havent) I would be interested to see how that is allocated..

Also university accomodation is not always great  ( and not always near campus)...luckily daughter managed to get decent house accomodation for these last two years. Mind you the old saying that personal items accrue to fill space might cause a problem given that we no longer have People Carrier.

If the University is close this is not a problem...my daughter chose to go to one as far away as possible ( OK slight exaggeration).

On another note...his lordship continues exploring his mid life crisis in the guise of 9 hour DVD Old Grey Whistle test. Some of the music I dont mind but others are very depressing..only teenagers could have listened to that..actually if you look back at your teenage music..you suddenly realise its not only your teenagers that can have the label    "from another planet" its not puberty we hit ..its acclimatisation to Earth.

OK Ive given up hope of his lordship actually putting kettle on so thats what Im going to do

Have a good weekend
