Personal Blogs

Hi All, 

I haven't posted a blog since 2015 lol but on Sunday I submitted my last EMA, and my 5 1/2 year journey has come to an end. 

Looking forward to graduating.

Good luck to all those still studying and to those who are just starting out.

Some pearly wisdom

I wont lie the journey is tough, tougher than what I expected when I started, part-time study along side work and family is a struggle but it is all worth while. You do get there. It will change your life, you will think differently and you will be inspired every step of the way. 

So even if your thinking its too much and you want to give up - Don't!! keep going 'YOU HAVE THIS AND YOU ARE AMAZING'.

For me I am going to enjoy Netflix and running guilt free and get my social life back. LOL

LOVE U - BYE xxxxx

I wondered if anyone has recently changed their pathway and then have to change their module? The reason I ask is because I changed my pathway on the cut off date - 10th September and was advised the module I am due to start in Oct is not one I now need, so they have cancelled this and I am awaiting to get the green light to see if I have a place on the other module that also starts in Oct, but I haven't heard anything and have been told it is still awaiting to be processed that was a few days ago. 

Has anyone else had problems changing, or are still awaiting to hear? I just need reassurance that it is normal 

Thank you

Tonight is my first on-line tutorial. I'm hoping that it will be helpful and prepare me for my TMA01, which is due on the 30th April. I'm hoping it is like chat on Facebook . Excited !!!  

Hope everyone has a good and productive evening too 

It's been a while since I have been on and posted anything, so I thought I would come and give an up-date.

Since my last post, I passed both my modules last year and got a distinction in one. Very pleased, seeing as they were the first modules I have ever done through the OU and it had been years since I had studied at this level.

So now ........

I was promoted to Dental Practice Manager at the beginning of the year, which has brought along with it more responsibility and hours. 

There are only 14 days left until my new module B123 - Management Practice begins and I'm looking forward to the module site being available tomorrow. I know what I will be doing as soon as I wake up tomorrow lol - having a nose

There is only one book for this module, which is good lol. It's a thick one though and more like a companion.

I have organised my study in preparation and put up my academic wall calender and brought plenty of post-it notes and set up my learning journal on my computer. 

I'm feeling confident, organised and prepared. Bring it on

So I'm studying away, trying to get my head around the HR department and the function of the CIPD and a giant, I mean absolutely massive spider runs across my books and jumps on my laptop, causing me to jump and I end up falling off my chair.

Well that's one way to make me loose focus and the spider has done a runner, nowhere to be seen. It's like it did it on pupose lol I bet I end up on spider-tube!!!

Calling it a night lol 

Stupid Spider!!!!!!!

Started my modules on Saturday, and I am loving it. Though I have to say it may take a bit longer to get my time management correct. 

I was so apprehensive about starting, as I haven't studied for such a long time, and the subject I have chosen is very much out of my comfort zone but I am enjoying it so much. The tutors have been great and the TGF is very informative.

If the modules hadn't been so well laid out, I would have got my self in a real mmess by now.

I'm hoping my enthusiasm continues 

So my second lot of books have arrived  I'm now all set to start my 1st year as an OU student. 

Roll on the 5th October
