Watching and Waiting!

Visible to anyone in the world

The summer is pressing on now,  I am  excitedly awaiting for my results, to see if I have passed my Degree in French/English.
Not quite sure if I will take another course just yet, because these next few months are going to be hectic at home with family commitments.  

I am still quite interested in TEFL Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificate,  because I have enjoyed helping my friend to speak basic French,  so maybe I could do something similar with English. I think I am going to make some enquiries on line into that, so that might be a future possibility, before I get too old!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying their studies!

Hi Judith,

Thankyou for your comment. I just have to find out now where to study for the certificate.

Coping after the OU

It was a dilemma for me last year when I finished the MA. after eight years of part time study I thought I would miss the routine. It was important do develop another routine since I retired last year. Glad to say, that armed with the Creative Writing MA, I am quite disciplined in writing my book. 

Additionally, 29 MA graduates and I formed our own DownToMeet group. 

If you think you will miss your studies, you can always form a group that focuses on the interests you shared in your English/French studies.
