Of (Open) University Challenges September 30, 2008
Posted by Jen in : A363 Open University, Journal , 27commentsNearly October? Really? Oh my giddy aunt. My aunt’s giddiness is because Nearly October marks the start of my next OU course.
‘Just think,’ said lovely bf cheerfully on Sunday, ‘this time next week we’ll be behind with our coursework.’
Now this is most unlike me so don’t tell anyone, will you? But I, um, decided to get ahead. I might get a hat too soon. A special writing hat. Yes indeed. Anyway, I lugged out the whopping course book and read the introduction. Then I started on the first chapter. Tonight, Matthew, I shall be Playing with Genre. Ha! Playing with Genre? my inner wibble screeched. Who do you think you are, talking about that sort of thing? You nitwit. Go and watch Emmerdale or something and stop being so silly.
I put the book away again. Ooh, flippin ‘eck. It all sounds a bit complimicated. The tutor group discussion forum wotsit has opened and we are, as instructed, doing our ‘getting to know you’ exercises.
‘80 words and the first thing you’ve posted and still you manage to mention donkeys and porn stars!’ exclaimed lovely bf, while perfecting his much-used eye-rolling routine.
Oh dear. In between finding new ways to procrastinate, I must try to be more sensible.
Now where did I put that pantomime horse?
