I really like working from home and I enjoy studying with the OU.
It gives me the opportunity to be flexible, and to find the right balance, between work life and family life.
I can see my family and I can do all my daily duties , like feed the cats, do my caring duties, look after my son, do the housework, shopping and so on.
I find the early morning is the best time to study because I have a lot more energy in the morning, so I keep aside the morning for studying with the OU, this includes learning the French language for the module L332. Language generally and doing translation among other tasks.
I have to stop at some point to prepare the family meal, between my various tasks, but I really enjoy studying and taking in knowledge, this makes my life varied and interesting!
In the afternoon, I try to make time for a walk. I usually try to walk the circuit of my village where I live, to get some well needed exercise.
The evening is spent mainly with my family, but I sometimes can't stop myself from doing a little bit of studying! or reading (study related) books especially if the TV doesn't interest me !
I like to unwind with the music on the radio, classic FM usually , last thing at night and just to relax a bit before sleeping, with a cup of cocoa.
Hope everyone is progressing well and having a bit of a break before the new term starts.
