Busy busy busy! I’d firstly like to say I’m really sorry for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. I’ve been really bogged under with uni and work and moving! I’ve just about managed to keep my personal journal up-to-date, so fingers crossed when I get my pc set up and Richard wires the Internet to our room upstairs I’ll be able to type up my journal entries!
As far as my job goes, it’s hard work, but very rewarding, so I don’t think I could ask for anything more! Uni is going very well (even though I did panic for a while and didn’t think I’d be able to manage my extra courses which are due to star next week). My last assignment for my current course came back with good marks, so I’m happy about that.
That’s about It for now, I’ll update as soon as I can.
What is your proudest life accomplishment so far and why?
This was a hard one to answer. I’ve been contemplating it for some time now and it’s really hard for me to narrow it down to just one accomplishment! So many things have happened in my life, and so many seemingly ‘normal’ events have actually turned out to be a really big deal for me, as we never thought I’d be well enough to manage them.
I think for me though learning to drive would have to be my proudest life accomplishment. I applied for my provisional when I turned 16, which was exciting, for sure! I applied for lessons later that year but didn’t start my lessons until I nearly turned 17. (I could learn to drive at 16 due to a benefit I’m receiving).

I’ve officially been studying with the Open University for two weeks now, and the time has flown by! I’ve been to my first tutorial, and started work on the first assignment, and I think things are progressing nicely!
I struggled slightly when I reached the beginning of the second unit, (the Representations unit). I worked through the harder parts of that unit though and started to enjoy the work towards the end. I’m now working on the 3rd unit (Crossing the boundary: Analogue universe, digital world). I’ve definitely enjoyed it much much more than the previous two units. (The first was just an introduction and was slightly boring, the 2nd a little harder to get my head around as it didn’t appear at first to have much relation to computers, and the 3rd unit I’ve enjoyed much more, especially the binary section).

I’ve always written in journals both online and offline, and it has to be said, I’ve never done it conventionally. I’m told I should keep my entries to a maximum of 250 words, stick on topic, and make my entries as readable as possible, and I just don’t agree! I’m writing my blog for me, because it helps me digest my thoughts and feelings, not because I’m looking for popularity (although that would be a little bit nice..).
