Yes Miss Urquhart...

Alison got a call yesterday to say that she has an interview for a teacher training course tomorrow. She has to have several interviews with various people, observe lessons, and teach some 15 year olds for 15 minutes. Scary stuff, especially when she only has two days to prepare for it.

She spent all of yesterday evening preparing her 15 minutes of teaching. It's about food chains and food webs, which I just about remember for my GCSE biology days.

And while Ali fiddled away with Powerpoint and Clipart and all the rest of it, I was hard at work... playing Half Life 2 . This is the game... this is the big one... this is the one that tempted me back to computer gaming after my 6 month hiatus last summer - I quit to concentrate on my uni finals and get married. The game hasn't let me down either. It looks and sounds great, the levels are brilliantly designed, the enemies are scary, and the physics are delicious icing. There's something quite unique about pulling a radiator off a wall with your gravity gun and throwing it at a zombie... quite a rare and delectable experience in the world of computer gaming.

I need to get back to work now. Bye.
