    Awesome Flo! You're amazing! I love studying with the OU, my tutors so far have been amazingly supportive.

    Oh and just so you know, I did start a BA in Creative Writing at Hull Uni. I was the youngest on the course, the oldest was in her mid-70s. You're never too old for higher education!

    I'm so proud of you! I don't think you are mad at all! I think that you should go for it and enjoy doing it at the same time! I'm so proud of you for doing something which you want to do! Oh and Marc's Nan was well into her 70s when she signed up for a course! If you want it then you'll do it!
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I don’t think you’re mad at all! I adore learning new things and have been studying the majority of my adult life. You’re going to smash it, I’m sure
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    That's absolutely fine! If your registration is complete, start exploring the library website. There are lots of resources on there that take you through essay writing and referencing and lots of other useful stuff.

    You’re a lot braver than me Flo. Maximum respect. I’m not much for academic studies, I’m a bit more of a practical person. Actually this has just reminded me, I never did hear back regarding the C&G construction skills course I did last year. Might have to chase that up.

    Darling Stella....there's a fine line between Bravery and Insanity..which one should I pick? Yes off you go and chase up your C&G construction skills course .... a bit of a cheek not getting back to you.....go on another one to see you over the dark winter nights. I have a friend on another forum who's the same age as me and regrets bitterly that she didn't follow her dream of becoming...wait for it....a master mechanic working for an F1 team!!! She's 5ft and a fag end, with a waist the width of the dip in a Coke bottle and takes part in dressage competitions!! And she really meant the bit about being a mechanic. And why not?

    Familiarise yourself now with the library resources and it will make it so much easier for you when the module website opens. And make sure your computer is organised as it will make it easier to upload your TMA/EMA.

    You'll be absolutely fine!
