Introduction

Hi,

My first blog post - !

I am currently studying S104 Science with the Open University. 

Have already completed the following:-

MST121 Using Maths (2006)
S103 Science (precursor to S104) (2006)
S151  Maths for Science (2007)
S193 Fossils and the history of life (2009)
Y166 Starting with Law (2011)
DSE141 Discovering Psychology (2011)
W100 Starting with Law (2012) (awaiting mark)

As you can see I have been with the OU on and off since 2006, did actually start with them in 1996 but didn't complete my first course which was M206.

I now have the motivation to complete a degree with then in the form of TA fees, I do not want to end up paying £2500 per 60 point course to do a degree.  So this blog is representative of that journey.

People who know me know how bad I am at deciding what route to go down study wise so at the moment I have a mind map which shows the possible choices open at the moment, until 2014, I have a longer mind map which continues all the way to 2017 but that is too big to put on here, clicking on it opens the bigger readable version - am erring towards physics/astronomy/planetary science/geology at the moment (one reason for effectively retaking S103 was to help me decide - and I can't remember anything from 6 years ago anyway!):-

anyway time to concentrate on S104 - next blog post will be about study technique - very useful info I have found on an OU blog, and updates for S104
