Week One

The problem with bunking off school is that once you miss one lesson, then another it's almost impossible to catch up. That's my excuse for my abysmal exam grades & I'm sticking to it! Why am I telling you this dear reader, (hello & thanks for popping by), it is because 27 years after leaving school, I have signed up to do a degree with the Open University. Am I crazy? Time will tell I guess?

Starting the ball rolling with an access course in People & Society & my first week's homework was to write my learning plan. Nowadays I am a very different person from the terrified, spotty & permed haired 16 year old who took their CSEs at the worst school on the planet. I'm a 43 year old perfectionist who wants her work to be.....well... Perfect. Thankfully I don't have the spots or the perm - what was I thinking? I look older in those ancient photos than I am now!

The blog is going to be my home for the next six and a half years as I study my way to a Criminology & Psychology honours degree. It'll be one of those warts & all kinda blogs & I may even throw in a few home life stories too. It's now time to sleep so so long till tomorrow.
