I can't believe I've left it so long since my last rather grim blog post. I have been working hard and enjoying DD307 (critical perspective on social psychology) with one or two qualifications. The good side is I am finding the material challenging and interesting and I feel far better prepared for the exam than I ever have before. The bad side is my tutor seem very slow at returning marked assignments - it is frustrating, stressful and demotivating. I know our tutors have lives outside of the OU and I also know that the 2 week thing is a guideline not a rule. But it's difficult when everyone has got their mark and moved on and I'm still here - F5, F5, F5...
Anyway while I am still waiting for my mark back on TMA 05 I have submitted TMA 06. This is a little unfortunate as it means I won't be able to use my tutor's comments on TMA 05 to improve my sixth and final assignment. But as it is now only 9 days until TMA 06 has to be submitted and only 29 days until the exam I felt I really couldn't wait any longer.
So there it is. My final assignment written and submitted. It feels odd that this will be the last assignment I write on my progress (hopefully) towards a degree in psychology. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I have started making lists of things I want to do when the exam is over. I expect initially it will feel very strange indeed and that nagging voice telling me to study, study, study will be hard to quiet.
Then what? I'm not really sure.
