No, no. It's not about me...it's about YOU. I write this stuff for fun, and largely to provide a source of information about certain games (TF2, The Sims 3) directly from a user point of view. I can answer questions about gaming stuff. Just leave me a comment. Other than that, my main addiction is Law and Order and finally getting round to doing my Bachelor of Laws. And so that you're not disappointed, the social networking links on the left don't work. I don't use those. Read more about me »
And so it has come to an end. On Monday I sat the U211 exam. I took it at Colchester Town Hall, in the Moot Hall to be precise, which was, frankly, a little over the top for an exam. It was a shame that the lights looked like something straight out of the 1970s. [...]
Recently, I have noticed an increase in the amount of hits that I am getting with regard to posts about Open University tutorials. Largely it’s people asking what they’re going to be like, which is an impossible question to answer, however I feel the need to address that and other things that I have written [...]
And so, it’s all coming to a close. A month on Friday and I will be sitting the U211 exam – I’ll worry about that another time. For now I am just revelling in the fact that I’ve read all of the course materials and submitted my final assignment last week. It was the one [...]
It’s been a while since I finished A210 – Approaching Literature. In fact, I finished it in October of last year and had intended to write this long before now. However, I now feel able to as I think it has been long enough since I got my result and life is relatively normal. You [...]
I had another tutorial on Saturday and I decided to go. I figure I may as well as I’ve paid for this stuff. I spent a lot of my time wondering WTF was going on as a couple of other members of the group were doing/saying things which didn’t need to be done or said. [...]
I feel compelled to write this. It’s not as though it’s the first time that I’ve ever mentioned this issue, oh hell no. I think you might find that if you read through my older posts on my time with the OU, that you’ll see it’s a running theme. Referencing. Yep, one of the most [...]
I have these moments when I think “Yes I can!”. A while back, sometime in the summer of last year this would be, I thought that taking U211 was a great idea. You know what, I am enjoying it, but it just feels so very heavy. I have an assignment for it due on 6th [...]
The Mother-in-Law Can you tell just what I might be about to impart? Yep. That’s right! I had to spend the weekend in the presence of my Mother-In-Law. By Christ did I wish to be airlifted out of there. It was another of those fireworks parties. And, just like last year, it was full of [...]
I’ve been reading. (OMIGOD!! STILL!!!!) In fact, I have two books on the go. One is Tender is the Night as I started that a few months back but never finished it. I’m still reading The Taking of Pelham, but because their subjects are so disperate it’s easy to read both of them. I may [...]
Isn’t it just? Well, I’m working when I’m at work. When I come home I’m studying. After I study I read a bit of a book (because yes, as I’ve said a few times and I’ll keep on saying, I CAN READ AGAIN NOW!! OMIGOD!) And after that, I have no real desire to do [...]
