I have come to realise that entering an academic world, means that i must accept the academic people that come with it, for some bizarre reason i have entered this new world while still holding on the world i am trying to escape from. Within this holding on, it has meant i have locked horns with the very people i am trying to learn from, after all, i am entering their world.
So in order for me to get the best for myself, i will adopt the attitude that i am at the very beginning of my OU studies and it would serve me better if i were to acknowledge that. And not only learn from the OU, learn from the active students that still use this blog, who between them all, have a history of university studies that cover scores of years, and if i am honest, i am lucky to have access to.
There is a wealth of knowledge amongst the students who use this blog, which is quite phenomenal really, that are ready to give advise about OU life, i could engage with properly and instead of me trying to drag them in to my world 'give up the ghost' and allow myself to enter their world.
I had an appointment with the safeguarding team this morning, thy were very helpful and supportive and provided me with some links to help me on my way. My confidence levels are rising, with the help and support from all. I am sure that my new attitude will help me get to where i want to be in a more grateful and pleasant manor, and who knows, maybe makes some friends along the way.

Hi Casper,
I accept your apology. Thank you, you. I have been busy with tma4 so I had not followed what was happening on the blog. I do not know what was said anyway except to receive your apology.
We all say things in the heat of a dispute. I had no quarrel with you as far as I know. We may have different opinions sometimes but you have every right to voice your own opinions. Sometimes It is interesting to hear different opinions.
Don't worry about anything. I hope your studies are going well.
All the best Gill X

Hello Casper,
Thank you for your comment on my blog, I appreciate it. Yes, eleven months free of recreational drugs is pretty awesome, and I have no need or intention to go back to it.
I like your blog, and you seem like a very nice person.
Thanks again,
Daniel

Your welcome Daniel, i struggle to buddy, so i appreciate what you have gone through to get where you are, thank for your kind words Daniel, it means a lot and i appreciate it. I like your blog to, you have a very vivid imagination, definitely worthy of a few short stories or even a book. I have a few cousins from around your way and an Uncle who has just passed away (Tony Spires) i also went to Hendon college in the 90s. I read one of your blogs and i think you were referring to Graeme Park, we used to go to bakers for egg and bacon at lunch time, hope you're well, stay safe buddy.
