so any decent resolutions out there ??

i have an interview at uni on monday to go back and be a student in september... may take away from guitar building for a while but longer term it will help out a lot

What's the course, Wez?

PGSE secondary psychology - which i already teach for a little less than half a week... but after spending ages trying to convince the school i work at to commit to training me properly i decided it was time to take the decision out of their hands. 

interview and presentation went very well.   Subject knowledge test was harder than i expected but i think i did better than the others there

quite positive and should find out next week.


then if i do get on, after sepetember i will have 2 years of really hard work but after that the plan would be to eventually go part time and have more time with the guitars. and if things got difficult i could get supply work to tide me over.   so long term its win/win.  Short term means i will have to stop taking orders later in the year and just focus on non custom orders of my own design for a while.  which sounds negative but i am approaching it as an opportunity to experiment with design ideas.   so essentially still win/win for me

Excellent!  Well done.  I taught 'A' level and GSCE level psychology at a local tertiary college for a short while after I graduated in 1993 (I was sh!t at it though - was far more interested in the nubile 17 year olds that, for once, seemed interested in what I was saying...)

Good on ya.

Mark.
