W100 Complete!

Hooray, W100 finished. The deadline was last Thursday but I managed to submit on Tuesday. It was a painful EMA writing experience and I do not think I will be getting a distinction for this one, but it should manage a pass. I will be very happy just to get a good pass mark

A200 Module site opened last Wednesday and I got my tutor allocation and Daisy discs on Friday. I've spent today putting all my tutorial information on the calendar, tutorial and TMA deadlines in my filofax and copying that over on to Google calendar too. No excuses ;)

I've copied my Daisy MP3s so I can listen to them separately as audiobooks, as well as using them as they're intended. Block corrections have been done and now all I have to do is get started.

Onwards!

Filofax addiction

I appear to have developed a bit of an addiction to filofaxes. A post on a forum led to this lovely blog - http://amanda-sheseclectic.blogspot.co.uk/  which got me researching the various types, then up popped a discount code and before I knew it I had placed an order.

My love new red metropol pocket arrived this morning.

I'm setting this up to use as a daily and student planner and I already have my eye on a pocket purple malden to use as a purse too ;)

I've been browsing lots of blogs looking for tips and tricks on filofax set up and wanted to say a big thank you to Philofaxy for the wonderful archive of information.

Catching up and getting organised

Goodness me,

It's a good job I'm more organised at OU deadlines than I am at posting on this blog! heh

Ok, so where abouts am I?

TMA05 has been completed and marked for DD101, so just 2 more to do then I've completed my first 60 point level 1! I have found some of the course hard to get through, but I am proud of myself for getting this far. The online tutorials really help, as does meeting like-minded students on the facebook groups for support.

TMA02 has been completed and awaiting marking for W100. I am loving law, I find it interesting and logical and I like the way the course is structured. Also my tutor is fantastic! Lots of information in the tutorials, notes emailed out same day, great at communication. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

I've also just registered and reserved places for my level 2 courses for next academic year. I will be starting A200 - Exploring history: medieval to modern 1400-1900 in October and then DD203 - Power, dissent, equality: understanding contemporary politics in February 2014.

I think they should keep me busy. *meep*

My youngest starts school this September, so I 'should' have enough time to get them done comfortably. For time management help I have just splashed out on a Filofax. The Palgrave Study Planner worked really well this academic year, but so much of the information in there is geared towards younger students that I wanted something I could completely customise to my own needs.

I've gone for http://www.filofax.co.uk/store/organiserdetails.asp?sizeId=2&rangeId=50&dsizeId=2 in red :)

I do love a bit of stationery :)
