I'm a writer, blogger, husband and father. Writing is my passion, and sharing beneficial knowledge and insights has been a pillar of my life for many years. I blog at dreamlife.wordpress.com.
…and back in this meeting room. Same subject, different people (partly). People spend many years at this place: years, decades. some even a quarter of a century (and more). There’s stability in the workings here: exam times, orientation, start of the year, summer school(s) – each year, the process – the events … More “One year on”
Initially, this was supposed to be a single post. But it’s turned out to be 3 different posts. I considered splitting it up, but decided against it – because they’re all similar in theme.
