8. Tutor Allocation

Visible to anyone in the world

I feel that I ought to celebrate this event. But it has not been overwhelmingly exciting. Since the website opened, I have been looking forward to finding out about my Tutor.

Now, I have the name of my Tutor, but I realise that this is not he event that I was anticipating. i was looking forward to finding about others in my Tutor Group; accessing the Tutor Group Forum; and finding out details of Tutorial dates. For all of these I will have to wait until 5 October, the official course starting date.

I have reinforced one of the most important things that I have learned so far about this course. It is going to be tied closely to the week-by-week calendar. i won't be able to do everything two or three weeks in advance. 

I am also happier, after re-doing the activities of weeks one to three, with the course structure. I have found it much easier to write about topics that come just from a small prompt. And I am more confident about writing short stories  rather than novels. i wouldn't say that all my apprehension has gone. I am already thinking about problems I will find in TMA 02, which will be Screenwriting, my secondary topic.

I am almost resigned to doing nothing for ten days - until the official start date.

But I keep hearing Tess and Claudia, ' Keeeeeeeeep Writing.'
