Still waiting anxiously

Sitting at work today and I have checked my study record again on the off chance that my credit transfer has been done and I didn't get an email. I really want to get all this started. I cant wait to begin. I know initially that the adviser was asking me why I was applying so early as there was plenty of time but I am glad that I did. I knew that my situation was unique and it would take ages.


I finally got the copy of my credit from Pearsons and now the CT team have agreed to transfer 60 credits from my old credit transfer. That's good because I have 60 with my HNC and so that should allow me to go straight into the 2nd year as planned.
I have bought a couple of note books and I'm rearranging the front room next weekend to set up my study area. When I think back to when I studied before I managed to get a first on two modules with half-hearted efforts and going through so much other stuff. I have high expectations for myself this time around, especially with the programming modules.


I am a bit nervous about the exams I know how rubbish I am when I have to use my memory for things but I am hoping that I will be OK. Maybe they allow a log book or reference papers like LSBU. I should be OK in that case. We will see.


Financing is worrying me. I know I will get tuition fees but I don't know what I have to supply to prove that I am studying at a distance because of my back injury. I think that is pretty clear due to when I started pursing this and the Access to Work stuff that my injury is hindering my attending a normal uni. Well, we will wait and see

That sounds interesting.  Wossat all about?

I had a somewhat stressful period up to my most recent exam, being totally unable to recall names and dates.  Do some universities permit people to take in notes in such circumstances?
