I've heard a lot about this blogging malarky, and even read a few too.. i've never really fancied it myself though. Strikes me as a thing for people with nobody to talk to to do, in the hope that someone, somewhere (out there in this 'blogosphere') will find them.
This is a forced blog. I am a final year undergraduate student at Manchester Metropolitan University studying BSc (Hons) Information Management. One of the units I (again, am forced to) take is LPD (or Learning and Professional Development, for those not so in the know). As part of our assessed coursework, we have been asked to keep a weekly blog for one term. The aim of the blog is to keep our tutor, the wonderful Bob Glass (a few extra marks in the bag there?) up to date with what we have actually been doing throughout term one…
Since it’s Monday lunchtime, I really haven’t done much at all this week – shower, coffee, attended another of my excellent classes Library Resource Management (I hope you’re reading Bob!). So instead, I will use this entry as an introduction to ME. Bob has asked us to tell you what we get up to inside and outside of our university course and I do have a lot of extra-curricular activities on the go.
Football is my passion (so forgive me for wittering on a bit too much for the next paragraph). I am the chairwoman of the University’s Womens’ Football Club and there isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t have to make a phone call or send an email to keep the Club running smoothly.
We’re in our 15th year and for the first time we’ve moved from one team to two, very exciting…but it does mean the workload grows exponentially. I love being involved with the Athletic Union and genuinely believe Womens’ Football is the best club out there. We train on a Monday evening and play competitively in the BUCS (British Universities and College Sports) league every Wednesday afternoon.

I also work for the University on a part time basis as a member of the Course Enquiries Team (please note, these views are my own and do not represent those of MMU). I love this job and recognise I probably do work more than what is academically advisable but I’m a typical student with rent and bills to pay (and, yes, i'm always skint).
I think that’s enough for now…I’m starting to bore myself. I’ll be back next week to update you with all my exciting activities.
Peace out.
