The internet's getting more and more locked down here at work these days, but one place I can still go browse is the Open University's website. My current course is halfway through, and they've started emailing me about my next choices.

I want to do 'Exploring The English Language' next, 'cause I'm starting to explore my fascination with linguistics. But I'd also quite like to do 'Creative Writing' too. Not sure if I can pull that course off though, and while I could do the short level one version as a tester, I can't get financial help for that one so I'd have to fork out the course fee myself :-(

I'm also fascinated by 'Understanding Media' - I did a Media course in tertiary college and loved it.

I'm definitely doing the English Language one, but I wonder if I have the time/concentration power to do one or other (probably not both) of the other two. And which one should I do? I would like to do more than one course at a time, 'cause otherwise it's gonna take me years to complete this flippin' degree!

Ack! Decisions! Do not want!

I never even managed to start my OU thing. I'm just no good at distance learning. So that was another £100 down the drain. (If I told you all the money I'd wasted - literally, thousands - on gym memberships I didn't keep up, and courses I never did, you would cry. So would I. So I shan't.)

I find it really hard myself, with keeping up with study without any supervision. I do manage to get the coursework submitted on time though. Would probably get higher grades if I actually studied though.... that's why I want to get away from language courses for a while, onto something more academic - see if I do any better.
