Coursera (first impressions)

Dear Diary,

So much for staying off the fora! Man! This Coursera thang looks pretty awesome (if only a pale imitation of our own hallowed institution). I feel like a traitor, but I just can’t get enough of learning Roman history and archæology. Naturally Maxy Waxy has made a big splash already.

This evening’s plan to study the Hittite Empire has been shot through the foot. I am frantically writing out conjugated verbs and declined nouns, in an effort to memorise them.

Tomorrow I have a gig, and I am more than a little bit nervous. This is nothing compared to the pressure of my debut at the swanky restaurant. I thought I would develop an immunity to stage-fright, or at least a resistance, alas no. Not that it matters. Time to reach down deep, breath, grow a pair of bollocks and then put on my best performance yet.
