Fishes & Dungeons + Philosophy!

Hi guys! How are we all today? Had a good weekend? I did! I went to the London Aquarium! I haven’t been since I was a child, and it was really nice to do something different. Some say that ‘back in the days’ it had a lot more to offer as in a variety of species etc, I don’t really remember hence I cannot comment. Either way, lovely day out. I shall put pictures up too! I really recommend it to all, have a visit; do something different! It is located on the South Bank of the River Thames in central London, in close proximity to the London Eye. The facts remain that it opened in March 1997 and it still continues to be the capital's largest collection of aquatic species in Europe.

I think my next attraction visit will be London Dungeon; it puts on display about numerous tortures from the Medieval Age. It recreates various gory and chilling historical events in a grimly comedic 'gallows humour' style, which attempts to make them appealing to audiences of all ages. It uses a combination of live actors, special effects and rides to construct a realistic experience. It also explains the history of the famous ‘Great fire of London’ and the notorious killer ‘Jack the Ripper.’ (Are you working for them, Sonia? ;) - Ed.)

Wossy!

This week at work has been relatively busy, more so than the previous weeks. There have been some problems with the Greenwich online application submitting process. If you are one of these applicants who are experiencing problems please give us a call to check if your application has been successfully submitted on ‘0800 005 006.’ As we are receiving 6-7 applications per person! The problem has been resolved now, as far as I know therefore; no problems should be arising any longer.

I was discussing my final year of degree with a close mate the other day, we were working out exactly what band our grades need to fall into in order to gain even a second class honors, but obviously we shall aim for a first! It will be extremely hard but I am determined to do a postgraduate certificate in education after, although it requires a ‘good honors’ degree, which means a 2.2 or above. As the competition is fierce I am hoping to get a 2.1 or above, this way I am at an advantage:-D

I was also discussing Philosophy with a work colleague of mine; it brought back memories from college studying this killer humanities subject at A level. Nevertheless, I still thoroughly enjoyed studying it and it was even more wonderful reflecting back on ‘Aristotle, Plato and Descartes’
Wait for my update next week!

In the meantime have a little think about the famous; Cogito Ergo Sum: ‘I think therefore I am’ by René Descartes.
