...a rainy day, a stay in day.
You can learn, research, read, listen and it's amazing. Magdalene theorists are fascinating.
Ralph Ellis is another Magdalene academic theorist and is very interesting to listen to. He also has a very nice speaking voice.
I believe that since I finished my degree, in 2010, I have been hankering to study more. I looked at my education history on my FB profile (yes, using social media from time to time) and realised that I have studied all of my adult life because I enjoy it and new skills are always helpful.
Of course, this is why my mother tried to pressure me into Law. She said that I had a very good brain that should be put to use by studying and working in Law.
I get that. You would assume the career of Law in the instance of having good intelligence. I'm far too rebellious to do such a study. Far too independent with my work. I would not be able to tolerate a 'boss' over me. I'm too headstrong and independent thinking. I would find too many things to disagree with. I would want to re-write it. I know myself and how I would not be able to carry out a legal procedure that I could not believe in or believed to be out of date. I would not be able to defend a case if I knew that the defendant was guilty, because it would be dishonest and would wrestle with my conscience.
My duvet days, of late, consist of mainly research and house chores. I do not actually stay in bed, unless I am utterly tired and need hours and hours of sleep, which is every so often.
Tomorrow will be my second run in two days. I will have to be ready for the 5k next summer, also my body needs it and my knee has been working well lately. Endorphins, need them more active in winter.
