npedw

I realise that I haven't posted yesterday so I miss out on my pedw badge but!! I did slog on with t'novel! I didn't feel like it, it was late evening on a crowded train, I scribbled rubbish on a note pad but I did it anyway!

Word count, quake in fear!

I went to an absolutely fascinating MBA Open Day at Ashridge Business School in the rolling parklands of Berkhamsted yesterday. The school is in what used to be a 13th C. monastery. They were asked if they could be the film location for Hogwarts but declined. A sumptuous place and with a business school! Bizarre. We got a tour of the place and three taster lessons plus a free lunch. I was starting to think, who needs to pay 40.000 pounds? I'll just travel up and down country from open day to open day, if they're all like this...

I need to get more words under my belt so cannot post in detail about this Open Day but it was vary fascinating. I came away thinking I am certainly able to do it intellectually and personally (which I hadn't really before; I was thinking 'argh, businessy types, at once intimidating and to-be-looked-down-upon'), and that I think I certainly could get work that pays me 70.000 pounds plus a year (I'm currently on 30.000) but I also came away thinking but I want to be a novelist and there'll be no time for that if I do an MBA.

Ah well, as I broke my pedw chain I don't have to reveal my breakfast ingestion either, *g*.
