Not long now til we fly out to Spain and I am getting excited, can't sleep (what a big kid I am!)
Still tons to do though:
3000 word double weighted assignment
bedroom carpet to be fitted tomorrow
packing....almost done!
ebay selling to wrap up
washing bins to empty (and all that mundane stuff)
Can't complain about the weather here lately.... but it will be good to be somewhere hot that has somewhere to actually cool down (the pool). Doesn't matter what the British weather is like, we always find something to complain about don't we!
Weight loss.....I am now 2 pounds off of losing a total of 2 stone since January. Very chuffed and finally feeling a bit more confident about wearing shorts in public, something I have never done in the past 2 years (still self-conscious in a bikini, but better than I was).
Open University.....I decided to see SD329 (Signals and Perceptions) through to the bitter end! I hate it and have to force myself to open the books. On the other hand S320 (Infectious Disease) is a wonderful (if somewhat huge) course and I am actually enjoying writing my 3000 word assignment!
Did I mention I have signed up for Beginners Spanish for November? I just haven't had time to go it alone, so I am doing it properly with the O.U. and looking forward to it.
Having trouble choosing my final 60 points for my BSC Hons though. Went off the idea of AT308 after failing to be enthused by its shorter version AT272.So that leaves me to consider SXG390 Geohazards project, S369 Sedimentary Stuff, S377 (molecular and cell biology), DD304 (Cities) or EK310 (research into children and young people).
Better get back to that assignment!

I assume you are doing the online version of Beginners Spanish? LZX194 Portales. You'll love it.
that's the one :O) So you've taken it too? Any tips?
Sue, K204 was one of my favourite courses. Good luck with it. Do you use First Class, if so and you haven't already found them, there's a ton of notes and revision stuff in one of the folders.
What course do you tutor? I've thought about becoming an OU tutor myself, if I don't go down the full time teaching route.
Just enjoy it - which isn't difficult.
Try to use Lyceum, the online talking forum, used for tutorials and for practising in between, as much as you can. It really builds up your confidence and reinforces your learning - you'll soon be chatting away.
I did it sometime ago and meant to take the follow on, En Rumbo, but had to withdraw due to one thing and another. I'll get back to it eventually - probably need to take Portales again to refresh myself!
