Mr Hoot

Well not really going to university but doing a Home Study Course in Bird Biology. The course is run by Cornell University in the USA – one of the Ivy League Universities. Further details can be accessed here.
I received a monster text book in the mail today. Flicking quickly through it (almost getting a hernia lifting it) I found lots of long anatomical names that I have no idea how to pronounce. Soon I will be able to bore you all with ever more technical details about what goes on inside birds as well as just boring you with their names.
Although it’s not a Diploma Course or University Degree, it’s something I have wanted to do for a while. And I do get a Certificate of Completion at the end of it – providing I pass the exams. It has been a long time since I studied anything, so I’m not sure how I will go. But you may find me even more unintelligible than usual (which probably means I am doing OK!)
