Still dark and raining...

I'm currently studying for an Open University BSc Psychology, I'll be halfway through as of 21 October, which also happens to be my birthday! If you haven't come across the Open University, it's well worth a look- www.open.ac.uk. They have an extremely impressive range of courses, all delivered on a distance learning basis, with regular face to face or telephone tutorials. I've completed (almost!) two level 2 psychology modules, DSE212 Exploring Psychology and ED209 Child Development, and I've found their materials to be top notch. I hadn't really thought much about the OU until someone at work mentioned them, but now that I'm studying with them, it's like a secret society, with OU students coming out of the woodwork everywhere! OU students seem to be a pretty hardworking bunch, and there are so many people you come across who never had the chance to attend a 'brick' uni - like the octogenarian Yorkshire woman at the Summer School I attended last year.
