The Grumpy Old Bag?
Well the WiFi euphoria soon wore off when I realised that connection in the hide-away is only sporadic and the booster that I have since purchased doesn't appear to work at all! For some inexplicable reason I have connection as I type but for how long?......
Things have progressed since my last post. The module website is open, I have had a letter and an email from my tutor and I have a list of my local tutorials over the coming months. The tutor has suggested that I look at two specific areas of the first workbook before our meeting next week. I feel relatively calm and very ready to begin. In addition to this I have withdrawn from the unofficial module facebook group - at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old bag - I couldn't stand it anymore! Life's too short, too many books and not enough time..... From now on I will rely on the official forums and groups which will hopefully stick to the relevant stuff. If I make some friends along the way that's great but I don't need to take on other people's stresses and strains (particularly when most of the time they simply haven't read something properly). OK so I do sound like a grumpy old bag - all I would advise is that it would be wise to weigh up the benefits and be selective in choosing which groups you join.
Lots of Good information in your post, I favorited your blog post so I can visit again in the future, Thanks.
