Resumption after short gap in blog

I haven't wriitten in my blog for quite some time, this is because of the overwhelming focus on producing Report 1 quickly followed by report 2 with strict deadlines to meet. I don't feel too bad about letting the journal lapse a little though, because I know the other students have done the same. This is one of the benefits of being part of an online learning community rather than isolated on other types of individual and conventional distance learning courses. One of the strange feelings immediately after the reports was that it was nice to get back to getting on with learning again, even though the reports themselves necessitated a consolidation of experience, reflection and brushing up on presentation skills, it still felt like an interruption of the term's rhythm rather than a part of it. I think next term should be less disconcerting, through familiarity.
