Studying again

Wow what a start to the term (semester if your at Uni:-)). I just have not been able to catch my breath, the Handheld conference was good, lots of interest in our product, and then I started University MA Ed Res at Newcastle University and WOW am so out of touch with learning. I am adamant that I will only take notes digitally and so when I sign in I have to borrow a pen :-). The cut and thrust of Academia is lost on me a little as I still have a job and that comes first. ANyway I am managing to read more(it isn't going in though) and I am learning how to use "end note" what a life saver that will be come the dissertation.
So I have had my first Personal tutorial the person seems friendly enough and has already emailed me with advice from our meeting. I have been trying to read this afternoon at work but to no avail. I will try tomorrow. I am having trouble connecting with the University so I need to go in and access my account until I get that sorted could be port access I guess.
ANyway time to go home and find out hat the rest of the family have been doing today and maybe find time to watch the football on tele. Great result for United (Newcastle) against Spurs ealier in the week.
