Changes to the course.
The course has been shortened by 2 months. We are now finishing in July instead of September. Can the university do this? Apparently, yes they can. I don't know why we weren't warned that this might happen or why they have decided to implement this change during a course instead of at the start of the next year. The tutors have tried to point out some positive points, none of which are relevant to my circumstances.
So now I have even less time to do an already ridiculous work load.
I'm teaching in Gateshead tomorrow and Friday and interviewing Bryan Talbot tomorrow, then teaching in the Winter Gardens on Saturday, so there probably won't be any new entries until Monday.
