- It's hard, its so much harder than I thought it would be. I have 90 points at level one and this is my first level two course. It's Introducing religions. I have a glossary of foreign terms about the size of a copy of Good Housekeeping and as each TMA is on a different religion it's learning completely new stuff every 5 weeks and not falling back on anything that I already know.
- Time. I work 5 days a week and am out of the house from 8.30 to 3.45, this doesn't leave a lot of time, I have three children, 18 (learning to drive and wanting to go out for practice), 13, plays football, needs help with homework etc and 10 and an 80 year old mother. I am constantly struggling to fit it in. And because it's hard it's taking so much longer for it to sink in.
- Money. It costs £70 a month and that is a lot of money to me - looking round Primark at lunchtime and considering saving up for some new shoes (!!)
- Dh - he is completely behind me in doing this amd is very supportive and generally wonderful, but he is studying too and his exams are paid for by work and will end up in him gettign a better job. Mine wont'. Feel that I should be supporting him more in his.
Next Tma due on the 25th April and I've done hardly anythign as I have been busy with life, I could cry when I think of the amount of reading and notetaking that I have to do to get ready for it. It only seem sto take one weekend of not studying to make me fall behind.
What do you think?
