It's taken a while but I now can state with a very firm conviction that the vast majority of the students on my course do not function well in the morning.
Take this morning as an example: a 9am lecture. The energetic lecturer asks how everyone is...knackered...ill...asleep.... are the muffled replies.
Having knocked back the Berocca* and got a full 8 hours, it's with ashamed reluctance I can admit here, that I was raring to go.
Is it not cool to be keen and eager?
Apparantly not.

So the lecture gets started and the random games begin.
Leading a partner by the hand with their eyes shut.
Most of us will probably have played a variation of this at some point.
It's all about trust.

Kiera, what do you think of what we're doing? asks another student.
I love it, I (keenly) reply.
I just find it a bit young, we did all this is GCSE Drama.
So did I, but it was so long ago that I can't remember it! (reminiscing)
It just feels immature, she concludes.

This mature student is clearly way past feeling immature.
