I have enjoyed harvesting own cherry tomatos and making a huge salad for the whole family! Yippy!

Also enjoyed feeding the guinea pigs that share the pen the 4 adolescent chicken 2 baby guinea fowls and a bunny.

They are a lovely lot to watch- the gunea pigs have 9 babies!

Just post what made you smile today!

it made me happy going to an open day at my university and seeing the diversity that they support, and the efforts they make for students of 'non-traditional' backgrounds. that really made me smile.

What is 'non-traditional' backgrounds ?

karena · 03-08-2008, 03:59 PM

Traditionally people at university were white, upper class and male. More recently pretty much white, young and middle or upper class. These days they're trying to open it up to people who wouldn't traditionally have accessed university education, so for example ethnic minorities, people with children, other mature students (mature is only over 25!), working class. So they are 'non-traditional' backgrounds. In many universities you would feel out of place if you didn't fit that traditional demographic, even today, so I was pleased with what I saw at my university today.
