Captains Log; Star date 27092006

Lots of things have happened since I last posted so this is going to be quick run down. Maybe I'll write more if anybody cares to hear more about any of it.

I went into a primary school for a week and generally helped out by listening to readers and answering the kid's questions.

I started my course at uni. First two days was basically registering and getting introductions from everyone. I have lectures and seminars for three main bits. "Professional studies" is with all the PGCE students and it's abourt general being a teacher stuff. I have seminars with a class of mixed science PGCEers anout teaching science and then most of the seminars are just with chemistry PGCEers, who are like me. It's fun and not too pressurised at this point.

I bought a peugeot racing bike that was made in 1989, it's red and beautiful, I've been riding to uni through the centre of London every day. As well as the bike I bought locks, bike tools, new tire, helmet, lights & new mud guards. I just need water proofs and I'll be all set for the winter!

Been playing songs with spanish girl Marian. Hopefully we'll learn enough songs to get some gigs and some money!

Went rock climbing with some folks from uni, it was pretty fun, will be going again next week. Japanese course starts this coming Tuesday.

From the BBC News website: The Japanese Jesus trail


Local legend says Mr Sawaguchi (r) is a living descendant of Jesus

A Japanese legend claims that Jesus escaped Jerusalem and made his way to Aomori in Japan where he became a rice farmer. Christians say the story is nonsense. However, a monument there known as the Grave of Christ attracts curious visitors from all over the world.
