I get what you mean - I often find myselk wishing that I'd done psychology at college. I've spent loads of time researching and trying to understand what goes on in my head - I guess quite a lot of people here have done that too. It is incredible how it all works. A bloody pain in the arse though!

I guess that's what I like about my student welfare role at work - I remember all too well what it was like for me when I was a teenager, so I tend to listen to students instead of judging them and telling them what they should do. I think that's why I get on so well with my students (they are very impatient for me to come back to work - it is nice to be missed!). I'm still their warden or tutor, but I'm ok to talk to and don't freak out at them if they tell me something shocking. I wish there had been people like that I could go to when I was younger.

Ok. I'm clearly in one of those weird philosophical moods this morning, but the sun is shining and there is blue sky, so I'd best get out and walk awhile.....
