I've been longing for this weekend. I don't have a family, so usually I plan my weekend so that I spend some time doing household things, and some time either pursuing some of my outside interests or alternatively visiting new places - I'm living in a new country, and it's all fascinating to me.
However this weekend I decided that I should start to do some real thinking about what I've been reading for my online degree. So this morning I took all my notes of the books that I've been reading, and started to analyse the opinions, information and other references. I ended up with two pages of precis, and so I went off to the mountains to sit in the sun and think thoughts about the whole subject.
I found that I really started to think differently out there - I suppose it was because I was in a different physical environment than the one that I normally work in. Because of this I think I might have a different slant on my research and the final dissertation I write for my online PhD. Studying outdoors could be a new variation on online learning.
