Since I am an online student I use an online library or I can use an online library when or if I should need it. I have not use it yet maybe I will before the end of semester. 

You can chat with library employees 24/7 which means that there is someone working at the library day or night even during the weekend. This is amazing because of the time difference I can go later at in the evening when I finally got time and my kids are sleeping and ask for help if I should need it. Of course I get really tired because of all the work I have to do but I like what I do so it´s all good.  

Help & support is where you can find resources for your assignments and help desk is where you can chat with an librarian. If you have any questions you can just ask them there.

So I´m doing my first assignment these days. It´s not due until 8th of November so I still have time to finish it. The assignment is about how we understand a text, how we process information given to us. It´s the perfect first assignment, I´m learning how I read texts and how much I really understand what it´s about. So I´m glad I choose to study online, This is going to help me a lot during my time as a student at Ilisimatusarfik, University of Greenland.

Yesterday I started first session, when I finished reading I will do the assignment. I am doing it step by step when I have the time. I spent 2 hours yesterday so I am hoping I will have to for two more hours today aswell. I think I spent most of that time writing about why I am taking a course in OU, also I wrote about similarities between other OU students and me. Which is something I might add to my next post. There are introduction to the session so it makes it easier for me. There are also videos as well.

Becoming an OU student is quite overwhelming. I already want to go beyond this course and get a degree. I guess time will tell. So as a student at Ilisimatusarfik, the University of Greenland I actually can go abroad and study a semester. As I am an older student with my own family... Having children attending kindergarten it made it difficult to go and study in another country, but that did not stop me. I spend quite a while researching my option. I found out that Open University is an option. Wow, can it be that easy? Yes,  I checked out courses I can attend and found an online course "English for academic purposes". I read about it, it was exactly what I needed for this semester. I could not get funding because I will be studying literally from my sofa or my favorite chair at home. So no funding and the dream of attend OU was no longer an option. I was about to give up when I opened my email.... Dudo & Povl Brandt Foundation wanted to fund my study. Suddenly OU was an option. So here I am now. The course begins in October 6th 2018. This semester I am attending to universities Ilisimatusarfik (University of Greenland) and Open University. I will use my blog to tell people how an online education works, so others can have this option and perhaps attend OU in the future.
