As one of those who could only attend part of the week and had to head back home on Wednesday, I just wanted to say what a great time I had, and I wished I'd been able to come on Thursday and Friday!
I thought I'd sum up my top three favs of the week and ask you all to post your own. So come on, what was your favourite aspects of the week?
Julie's top three
1. Meeting and talking with other students and staff - invaluable. We all shared POVs and stories about our working lives and how we were coping with the course. We are not alone!
2. Being a real student - Like last year, I enjoyed attending lectures, tutorials and field trips with fellow students. Like a lot of people I work full time and wouldn't be able to study full time, so I appreciate being able to distance learn, but still enjoyed being a 'real student' for a week.
3. Atmosphere - I loved how everyone, students and staff alike were friendly and approachable. Among the seriousness of lectures and studying I also managed to have a real laugh all week!
Anyone else have a top three?

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say thanks for some great days in Leicester.
And I very much agree: meeting up with fellow students and staff has been the best!!
I don`t mean to sound like an advertisment, but I don`t know if all of you are familiar with the Yahoo site run by Jerry Symonds (a former DL Museum studies student). But I can strongly recommend it - it`s a very good way to stay in touch with present and former DL students, hold discussions and keep updated with the latest museum news from all over the world.
All you have to do to sign up, is to email Jerry at: jerry.symonds@hrp.org.uk
and tell him your full name and intake - and he`ll take care of the rest.
There are already about 200 members of the site!
Hope to see you all again sometime!
Best,
Jane
I have a top one, at this moment, anyway. I keep thinking about Ross's son's picture, and the comments Ross made about it--the excitement of that first moment of discovery in a museum, and how lucky we are to be working in this field. I admit I'm a sap, but I teared up when he showed the picture, and was recommitted and re-energized for getting back to the real life of museum work and studies. It was so wonderful to be with so many people committed to the same thing!
