A few weeks ago a large box arrived. In the bottom right hand corner ‘Urgent: Educational Materials’ as in quickly, get this girl an education The box was of course from the Open University and carried five books, a study companion and a laptop style bag with the words ‘OU Business School’ on the front. This is what £160 gets you from the Open University (well £360 if you don’t get the £200 grant).

I studied social science with the open university last year, this time it’s business studies, combined they’ll add up to an HNC which *should* be enough to get me into university. In fact I applied for university a few weeks ago to do a degree in entrepreneuship and marketing. I only applied for one course which I think may have been a bit of an error on my part. I’m considering looking into seeing if I can add extra choices, possibly business management or marketing and digital media.

Saturday was my first day school, last year the tutor days were only in the morning, this one was 10am-4pm. It was a good day mostly focused on an introduction to studying and a few small exercises. It was also the first time I’ve admitted to blogging in public, we had to reveal two interesting facts and one of mine was about this blog, it felt very strange!
