It's way past time....

that I started thinking about continuing my degree with the Open University.

As I've mentioned before, I'm thinking about doing this course, which is an introduction to writing fiction. It's only a twelve week level one course, so I wouldn't be able to apply to have my fees paid for me on this one - which is why I haven't already signed up, frankly.

I'm also considering going for the level two course Creative Writing in September, which is a full course and I would be able to get some help towards fees (Thank goodness!), but I'm a little concerned that I'd be repeating myself. Though admittedly taking the short course would let me know if I'm up to the longer one - I could do with help with my writing, frankly, but I also have the odd confidence problem. Plus, poetry? Do not want, kthxbye! That's something that does not appeal to me in the slightest.

What do you guys reckon? I have till March to save up for the short course.

Also, also! *bounces happily* GUESS WHAT THEY'RE FINALLY OFFERING!!! I wants it, precious!!! *coverts* Hell yes I will be signing up for this one in November! :-D I don't think this one would scare me as much as the French one did, odd as it sounds - mostly because I am so desperate to learn!

Ah well, back to work now. Going out this evening with some of the other mums from Rowan's school - should be interesting! I'm touched they thought to include me, frankly, and I'm hoping it'll be a good night.

*sympathies* The Welsh one only extends as far as Continental Europe, alas. And the fee for the short writing course - not that you need it - is vastly inflated for 'the rest of the world' :-p

Nothing much in the way of community college in your area?

Oh, there is, but the likelihood of them offering Welsh is more remote than this country pulling completely out of Iraq. :p

That's true. :-(

Maybe you could help me practice? *shrugs*
