I have a blog? oh yeah!

13th October was my last post?! really?!

Well, since then I’ve cycled around South India (incredible) , passed that exam (80% – *polishes nails on collar*), have started the next (and final big) course.

This one is Critical Social Psychology and let me tell you it’s got me gnawing at my mouse-mat already. I’m a science kinda gal. I like evidence and hypotheses. This course requires me to read a lot of fluff and nonsense, clouded in post-modernistic language. I’ve nearly given up on this blasted course for turning my mind to mush. You have to get your head around some philosophical thinking and chase your tail for a bit before it starts to make sense. (I am told. It still doesn’t make all that much sense).

Sadly, I got my lowest TMA score so far in my OU career and I’ve got a big qualitative project to do in early summer. I tend to do very badly on qualitative stuff so I expect to get even lower marks this year. *sigh* there goes my first. I had hoped I could get a distinction this year. If I could manage that, I’d have a first but it looks like a 2:1 or worse will be the most likely.  I guess that’s not too shabby, either.

Anyway, I am actually procrastinating as I have TMA 02 that is due tomorrow and I’ve written about 1850 words of it so far. 150 left to go (it’s a terrible essay by the way but as I said, a first is now pretty much out of the question).
