Yesterday,
when Perran and Carenza’s school offered the upper sixth a day of preparing for
university by budgeting with their loan/grant and cooking some nourishing
dishes, only 25 pupils turned up. I can’t
blame the others as they are all scrabbling to complete essays and notes for their
June exams. Their reasoning is that
unless they perform well academically, they won’t be going to university at
all. With the January results in and the
end of term looming, A2 nemesis is far more imminent. It’s easy now to count
the days.
However,
those who attended the session will reap the benefits. In fact, they have already reaped some
benefits – as I returned home last night, I opened the door on a delicious
aroma. Carenza had just re-heated a cottage
pie madras (à la curry powder) as her after-school snack. For lunch she had
eaten a tuna bake and for dinner, she intended another cottage pie (“Sasoon
didn’t want his”).
She
couldn’t share with Perran and me as we don’t eat meat, so we watched her enviously
from across our card-boardy supermarket pizzas.
I don’t think I ever cooked anything that smelt so delicious when I was
at Uni.
