OU Course Materials Arrive

Posted by stephen on Wednesday, 12th September, 2007 @ 18:23

I'd prepared myself for having missed the deadline for registering for the first course of the degree I've been planning to do with the Open University. The deadline was last Friday, and I posted the completed forms in the nice prepaid envelope on Thursday afternoon. And just as I put it in the postbox I noticed the prepay was 2nd class, so it'd be a couple of days before it arrived. D'oh! I'd have to wait to start next time around, February next year.

But it seems luck is on my side at present, because just before lunchtime DHL delivered me a rather heavy box marked Open University course materials. And then after lunch the postman delivered me a second, similarly marked but slightly smaller package. So it would seem I've made it for the course starting in October, woohoo!

Looks like I'll have a lot of work to do though...

And I've just ordered the 4 books from Amazon I'll also be needing for the course. Best I get finished reading American Gods pretty soon if I'm starting on this lot in a month.
