Well Begun Is Half Done
... as Mary Poppins once said.
Today marks the day that I am exactly half way through my degree with the Open University. I began well and steadily got better at lone study. Today, I have sat my first official exam in 22 years (apart from the Health & Safety course I did earlier this year) and have spent the last few weeks worrying about it all.
I walked into the exam room today with an air of uncertainty. I really didn't know what to expect. I answered the correct amount of questions and allowed myself enough time to read through everything properly at the beginning and the end. But I have done the best I can and now just have to wait for the results *wibble*. Roll on 17th December!
I also want to thank a few people (*you know who you are*) for cheering me on from the sidelines. Sometimes, especially in the last few weeks, I have felt like jacking it all in or at least postponing the studying as I was burning out. To have you all giving me that virtual kick up the arse, I am ever grateful. I owe you big time!
If When I pass this module I will have gained a total of 150 points towards my degree. I need 360 points in total to complete the degree, inclusive of (Hons). I know that doesn't look like halfway but I have completed four modules over two years and have another four modules to take - three main modules and a short course to round off the points allocation. Right now, though, I am taking four months off. My next module starts in February 2011.
It's a bit of a cliché but I do feel as though a weight has been lifted. I now don't have any study pressure and I can concentrate on my writing properly. I've decided to share a little ditty with you which is fun and bouncy - very much like my mood at the moment. Cheers!
