The coursework is getting harder, there's more to learn about characters than I first thought. I mean ok, I can write about my characters, but this is thinking of characters that they want me to think about, random characters. However, there are a lot of pieces to a character, their main set up, what they like, they look like, how they walk, talk, their favourite foods. You write to the point that you know this character inside and out, almost to the point you could have a conversation with them, an intelligent conversation. Just before they cart you off to the loony bin!

On a different note, I received a phone call from Radio Scotland today, which cheered me up as South West Sound FM in Dumfries only do Cash For Kids, not Children In Need. Radio Scotland had picked up on the fact I'm doing the head shave and will be phoning me at 10:55am on friday, so I'll need to be in either G42 or G43 and hopefully heading for the door and talking outside. I'm hoping that if the pupil is in that I work with, then at least I can drag him outside for a few minutes to kick a ball about, at least then I'm not affecting any class by speaking into my mobile. Although what the listeners might make of it. I'll need to go onto Radio Scotland later on with iPlayer to hear back what he asked me. Likely I'll not remember.

I also need to go into the town to see the Herald Office and organise where to put the poster. I need people to see where the event is taking place and raise as much money as I can on that day. Taking my stickers with me.

I've also written a letter to David, unsure if he'll respond, better post it off quick, likely it will be sometime after the event before I hear from him. Ever hopeful!
