It is now all
over. I have completed my EMA and submitted it. I have done a perdition and the
perdition states I will pass even if I get the minimum, so I am hoping that I
will get a better grade than that.
I can’t
believe that is now over. It seems like I have only just started but it is now
over Stage 1 is now complete and I will get my Certificate of Higher Education.
Stage 2 begins in October, and although people at the day school said that they
have enjoyed Creative Writing they have not picked that as their option. Some
of the students said for Stage 2 they will study the literature side first before studying Creative Writing. There is no right or wrong answer to this as you
can study either one first. However, me, I will go with the suggestion first
which is the A215 Creative Writing which is a compulsory module anyway. Then
study literature I have a choice of 2 modules. A230 Reading and studying
literature or A233 Telling Stories: the novel and Beyond. I already have what I
want to study already, I will study A223 Telling Stories: the novel and
Beyond. For the A223 there are a lot of reading materials that need to be read. I
have already bought some books and downloaded the story on my phone so I can
get a heads-up. I haven’t started reading them yet but now that A112 is over I
can start listening to them and when I’ve finished reading/listening, I’ll
write a review of the book for myself so when it is discussed in a book club, I
know there is a book club in the second part which I am looking forward
to, I will be able to have a skim through of the book before it’s discussed and
look at my review. To be fair you don’t have to read all the books, there is a
star next to a few and you only need to read one of them but, the more I read
the better I will be plus although I will not need to read the books until I am
studying A223 module, I thought if I start reading now, and I am not intending
to read all the book before I start the next module, it is said the more you
read the better writer you will be and since I want to be a writer and the
books I read for fun are not the kind of literature that the A223 module
is asking you to read.
I finished my
EMA on Thursday 18/05/2023 and I am writing this blog on the 23rd
I know this is late but now that it is over, I can’t believe that 1) I stuck to
it and completed a module. It is so hard for me to focus and stay motivated. It
has been a struggle but this time round I am going to do my utmost best to stay
ahead, not ask for extensions unless I need to. 2) On Friday 19th I
was so tired. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Restless leg syndrome, swelling
of the legs, arthritis in my hips, depression, and dyslexia, and that is just for
starters. Let’s just say I have a lot of problems; I take 36 tablets a day so
that should tell you something. Anyway, because of dealing with all of that
when the module was over, I was like wow!!! I can’t believe how tired I got and
how much pressure it was but not in a bad way and 3), I can’t wait until the
next module starts. I don’t know what to do with myself, to be honest,
someone mentioned to me about studying some OpenLearn courses, they are for
free, and if I study a course not only will it help me when it comes to starting
stage 2, but I won’t board, I am going to start today reading some of the reading
material from the 2nd part of stage 2.
