Hi, I'm Jane from Hertfordshire, 29 again, three small children. I am about to have another shot at the OUs Level 2 geology course - I sadly dropped out of it last time round due to some unforseen issues here, but I really hope to be able to get back on it early next year, and this time be far better prepared. So I hope you don't mind me lurking and learning (and yelling for help and easier explanations when I get stuck).
Oh let me know how it goes! I was doing the S103 as well as the S260 and had to drop them both - cor, should have seen me cry! I was looking at the S186 and wondering if I should do it (isn't that one of the short courses?) with my tesco vouchers LOLs! Thought it might get a few concepts through my head. I was fine with the S103, but really struggling with the other, I adore the subject, find it fascinating, but my brain prefers biology and that sort rather than the colder harder stuff. Still, I ill get there next year (if they sort me out some sodding respite as they promised this year, hence the course drop when it didnt materialise).
