when an action makes you think.
when i became a student, i naively wanted discussion and passion and interesting things to happen to me, as part of my student experience. i didn't expect to become a hinderance to a business. i didn't like hearing about chris' experience at the main campus. it happened to her on the day i was on a cultural rersearch visit to loughborough.
at loughborough i had the sort of experience that i had wanted to be my experience. i am a victim of my own descision three years ago, as maybe i could have chosen another university to apply to, oh but i had applied to derby because of the course on offer. little did i expect it to be so bad. at least i know now that a whole new programme has been written and an acknowledgement of me being there at not a good time.
so where am i going with this? well ,in our corportised public spheres, it is difficult to really know what a sphere is really like as the marketing department will construct the vision of a few to attract those vunerable enough to bite on the bait.
so i continue to walk around and endeavour to talk to those around me. in those conversations, the "oh in an ideal world" gets wheeled out. it's funny how many people woould like an ideal world, with so many wanting it, why is there no attempt to achieve it. given the current state of the wider public sphere, those attempting an ideal can't really muck it up any more than has already been achieved.
as for education, it's dull without inspiring conversation.
