I study at the TIC in Millenium Point (it’s a faculty of UCE), and as I was sat busy concentrating (of course) in my tutorial, the tutor stops mid sentence and stares out of the window.

In Aston, somewhere, is there a fireworks factory or store, or something? I think it may have been on fire. At first we thought someone hadn’t grasped the fireworks concept and was setting them off in daylight, but then we noticed a big cloud of smoke, so maybe it wasn’t so innocent.

I’ve quickly checked on the BBC Birmingham site, but this only happened about half 11 so they might not have updated yet.

But, it certainly made the lesson a bit more interesting. We also spotted a police speed checkpoint. It’s great studying in a building made mostly of windows. Not at all distracting, hahaha.
