Primrose - well done with your studies so far, it takes a lot of determination (& organisation!) to be a student & work & live a life - but the sense of achievement is great. My OU degree ('92) also gave me a pay increase!
Hi again Suki - teaching f/t, kids, OU, - snap . My graduation ceremony was at Ely Cathedral, Judi Dench received Honorary Doctorate too. I can honestly say I have shared a stage with her....for about 10 seconds!!
I understand what you mean about wanting to physically take part in a course Eglantine, such a shame you can't find anything to suit. I do know that OU is currently sharing a free Introduction to Geology course on Futurelearn (FL) - might it be worth a peek?
I'm currently doing a short FL course which is taking me way out of my comfort zone - Healthcare in Humanitarian Crises, run by London School of Health & Tropical Medicine. It's gruelling stuff at times!
I'm still waiting for the Italian course to come round, so biding my time with an occasional bottle of Prosecco.
Cheers all!!
