Keeping ahead of the game - I hope

I watched the rest of the DVD this morning. I was interested to hear about how personal the relationship with your tutor is. Although thinking about it it would have to be.I hope I get on OK with mine and I am now wondering when he or she will ring me/email me.

O have also had another look at the suggested timetable. I am way ahead because the course doesn't begin until March 1st and I am already doing Chapter 2. But I have a feeling I need to slow down. I am assuming because I am familiar with the words and the concepts I am understanding it all correctly and I may not be. I must NOT be arrogant because I already have a degree. Its been a long time since I studied seriously.

I am also anxious about the TMA's and essay now. It has to be referenced - something I hate doing.

I am also worried that the online system wont work with Mac software - which could mean getting our desktop Windows PC repaired and running could be critical. Although I am sure Steve would let me borrow his to transfer documents into Word or Office.

I need to bite the bullet and log into the website and get that bit activated. I'm not sure why I am reluctant to do that.

I also need to get all my OU stuff in one place and that means retrieving the other letters from where I filed them and putting them in the case with my coursework stuff.

I guess all this comes down to fear of the unknown. I know once I take the first step,have the first contact from my tutor I will be fine.
