This is my private Open University blog recording the ups & downs of being an Arts student for the first time at age 36. Started in late January 2006, I hope to use this blog to vent my frustrations plus celebrate my triumphs as well as show to other newby OU students that they're not alone!

"First thing you learn is that you've always gotta waiiit..."

So, after the debacle over TMA3's delay, I finally finished TMA4 on time. Yes, you read right: on time. Don't think it's much cop but then I said that about TMA 3 (Result: 83%). Now I have 21 days to complete the rest of Book 4 and write TMA5 before my mother in law and her nephew visit us. They're coming over from NZ and will be here all summer. It's going to be a tall order to complete it before 31st July but at least I'll have no more delays after the last assignment. Actually, now I think of it, the missus and them will be off on a break the 2nd week they arrive which means I'll be alone for a few days before I join them. Mmm. This might be another one done on time too if I play my cards right!

Not much else to report, really, on the OU front. I suppose the good thing about this Block so far is how easy it has been to read in comparison with other blocks. Hence the lack of whingeing up front today. I am a bit annoyed that I have missed 2 tutorials in a row but at least the tutor has been gracious about the reasons why - getting the TMAs done. I must make a point of getting to the next one in a few weeks time.

Still, get TMA5 done and a) I'm off on hols again and b) we get a 2 month break 'till the next assignment! For now, I've just gotta wait for TMA4's result!
