Have finished reading Faustus, the notes and all of the stuff on Cleopatra. Great to see so much material available on line to, You Tube and catch up etc. The problem is going to be staying focussed on  what is required to answer the questions. I am finding the topics interesting and seem to trawl my way around the media picking up snippets... not sure if thats a good thing or not

Course proper starts next week and the seems to be a bit of frenzy on social media and the online OU forums.. all a bit new to me and not sure if it helps or hinders...Im ready anyway and just want to get going. I am planning on staying on the schedule as far as possible, as its best for me..

Still in Adelaide visiting family, strange to be so hot and fierce in January, and the beach life the Aussies embrace so well is attractive, but always seem to include alcohol..

Also, completely enjoying being uk news free..... bliss!
