My morning has been taken up sorting out an admin error by the OU in relation to my SFE loan. Several phone calls later someone at the OU finally spots it and the issue was resolved within minutes. But by then I'd already had an hour of stress thinking I would lose my place on the course.
Being ahead helps. Losing time to things like this doesn't impact me. In an hour I will be less wired and might even start studying. I know other people won't be so lucky.
I had a lovely chat with Emily (mid-wife across the road) about me doing an OU course. Seeing really positive reaction to this was nice and helps keep me motivated on a difficult day.
Sleep was very disturbed last night, so this may be impacting my ability to brush off distractions.
OU don't make it easy
