In a week course 2 of my second degree with the OU begins. Somehow I managed to get just 1 point below a distinction on A330 (Greek Myths and Legends), I have no idea how that happened, but obviously I managed to do something really right in the final essay despite it completely missing the [...]

TMA02
My tutor finally sent back TMA02 after a week of silence from her and two emails from me asking if she could just acknowledge that she had received it. Along with the marked essay (for which I received a much better grade than I feel I deserved - being honest) was a rather snotty email [...]
TMA02 Struggles
I am really struggling at the moment, to find the enthusiasm to write the second part of TMA02. Being truthful I really don't like the effort that I have to put into it, not because I feel that there should be no necessity for effort, but because I have never had to push myself so [...]
TMA01
Well, the course has officially started, and just over 2 weeks in I have already had to submit my first assignment. I felt incredibly unprepared for the panic that filled me the minute I realised that I didn't know much at all about the material, but I managed to blag my way through the 1000 [...]
After 5 years…
As I rarely see some of the people here who know me (if ever)...thought I would post the only bit of good news I have had in years. I am now a graduate! Today I received notification that I have passed my final course towards my Degree in Literature, and I can now put the [...]

This Saturday marks the first day of my last course. I can’t believe that I started working on this degree back in September 2005 and now, just four years later it is almost over. I haven’t exactly done a wide variety of courses, it is after all a degree in Literature, but along the way [...]
Creative Writing: And the Saga Continues…
I thought that the course would be over and that would be it, and then I got the grade back on my final piece of work. I swear (and this isn't me being paranoid OR over-inflating my writing abilities) that this particular tutor (now to be referred to as SLOB) has it in for me.I [...]
End of Course (Creative Writing)
Well, this course was definitely not what I was expecting when I signed up for it almost 6 months before it started. I have to admit that I feel let down. I was hoping to meet a lot of like-minded people that I could possibly create some kind of writing network with. What I unfortunately [...]
It’s been a while
Where has all the time gone? One minute it’s March and I have damaged text books with milk, the next it’s the end of May and I am in the process of writing my last creative writing piece for the course that felt as though it was never going to end.I can honestly say that [...]
Milk damages books
Yep, you read it here first; milk damages books.This may not be news to many of you, but last night I discovered just how much damage half a pint of milk can do to a set of books if spilled. I had just carried my nightly glass of milk upstairs to bed, leaned down and [...]
