A place I can still find reason to frequent now and again. There were a few students seen to be doing the same (none of mine, though…).

Study space
Friday 28th February 2025, 9.10am (day 4,936)
Not many students are seen on campus at just after 9am on a Friday, then again, nor am I, all that often. She seems engrossed enough in something, anyway. I hope I managed to keep my class entertained too.
Pub study

Multiple meanings in the title of today’s post, for I was, indeed, studying while in the White Swan this afternoon — as was this gentleman. That’s my excuse, anyway.
Study space (abstract)
Tuesday 16th May 2023, 2.10pm (day 4,282)
Did something I have not done for 11 days and went onto campus. It seemed busy today: ‘revision week’ has kicked in. This student was one of many using the various little pods and cubbyholes that are littered around the place. This is intended as an abstract, a study in yellow (or is it green?), shapes and shadows. And portrait format rather than landscape, something else I don’t do much of lately.
The reading room, Manchester Central library

I was also here on Monday but blew my opportunity for a decent photo of it, so today gave me a second chance. Recently re-opened after what seems like years of renovation this is a classic, great, domed library reading room: too big, really, to get a photo of in its entirety, so today I tried a more intimate portrait. It’s great that I have had the chance to work in this excellent space this week, but then again, so has everyone else — for now, it’s open free to the public, you can just walk in. It’s called a public good, Mr. Cameron.
Revision week
Monday 19th May 2014, 11.25am (day 998)
The weather stays very fine. If one can find a piece of green space on the University campus — not always straightforward, seeing as there’s not much of it — there are far worse places to prepare for imminent exams.
