As I write this, the new university year looms. For some, this means the excitement of starting a new course and a whole new chapter; for others, it means a return to studies after the summer break. I must admit that in September I get impatient for students to start/return as whilst there is lots of work to do, the university does not feel quite right when it is so quiet. So, roll on Welcome Week and week one of the proper timetable.
