I know no one cares but I FINISHED!!!!!!

[theorchardkeeper]

It might just be an access course but I just sent off my EMA and am done for the summer, when I'll start the next course that will get me onto my degree.

It's the start of something big and I wasn't sure I'd finish it at the start

Take that, exMil who took it upon herself to tell me why I'd fail

Well bloody good for you!
How rude of your MiL. Why did she say that?!

Long story short, no one in their family has gone onto further education so she took it as an insult and seemed to relish in telling me how hard it would be I had a kid young, I didn't give myself brain damage ffs

Well done. Remember that feeling as it will help you get through your degree.

Thank you.

It's worth it to feel like I'm actually doing something to change the situation me and DS are in

Well done you, what degree are you doing?

(I know the degree will be so much harder. I watched my mum do one when we were teens so am prepared for wanting to give up a lot, like she did. But now she has a degree and a decent job so it was worth every late night typing essays and that long slog)

Thanks. I'm going on to do psychology with OU.

Congratulations!

I did a psych degree with OU and loved it!

Well done you. I'm currently waiting to find out if the last four years of hard slog and studying with the OU have resulted in me getting my foundation degree in early years!

Well done for finishing bonkerz and good luck with the results!

Glad to hear of someone else who's done it and enjoyed it twas'

Well done and good luck going forward.

for you and [up yours emoticon] for the exMIL.
