Argh. I'm so behind with my OU course. Silly thing is it's still really easy, I've got great marks on my previous TMAs. And I love learning it. It's just fitting it in with a busy toddler and a baby who doesn't sleep until 10ish.

I've already got an extension but I'm just not keeping up with it. OU are very understanding as I've also told my tutor I just started anti-depressants (which are working). I even considered quitting or deferring but I'd lose my funding, as you only get it paid for if you do the whole degree in 6 years. And anyway, I want a degree, I'm smart enough to get one FGS and I want a good career, I'm just so TIRED.

Baby went to sleep early (9.30!) yesterday and I know I should've got on with the maths but I just went to bed. Today I tried doing an audio section but it just went in one ear and out the other, my head feels so fuzzy and DD was refusing to nap so I turned it off and did some craft with her. I'm glad I did that, I'm really trying hard to be a more fun mummy but it's impossible to do everything. She's got nursery later and I'm really hoping to get some stuff done then but I just feel braindead!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH sorry rant over.

MathsmadM I buy all the past papers and go over and over them. With MS221 a load of us put up the solutions to the CMA part, and we had a great tutor who supplied some of the other answers. I've just received all my past papers for this course through OUSA, so once this final tma is done I will start. I find that I go through them loosly, see what I can answer now, then revise what I can't, and build it up that way, it's worked so far
