The strange machinations of the mind immediately upon submission of the TMA. What do other students do on that particular night, I wonder?
I would hazard a guess that some people read, re-read and read over again their submission, till they are in a blind panic state!
For me, however, finishing a TMA almost always triggers the 'what next' vibe. So I find myself perusing the course descriptions for whatever I am fancying next. Well, as you know, I had decided that 'next' is likely to be the mandatory Level 1 from the prescribed list. So off I go down the list to see what the options are. There appear to be an abundance of Business Studies courses (yawn), a couple of maths ones (nope - been there with S151, learned my lesson and won't repeat the experience). Unfortunately the only IT one is a 60-pointer which, as well as giving me 30 more points than I would need, would also be out of my budget, there's a hefty financial jump between the world of 30 and the world of 60-pointers.
But languages...hmm ..there are lots of language courses. So my current front-runner is 'L192 - Bon Depart - Beginners' French'. I did a GCSE at night school about 16 years ago and loved it and came out with decent results, so I think it might be just the course for me. And as a foreign language, I think it might not let my mind slip entirely back into Level 1 thinking, so that after Graduation Phase 1, I can still think hard enough to get back to those final two Level 3 courses aka The Honours Part (courses yet to be decided as the syllabus is changing so I'm hoping there may be new things out there that take my eye by the time I need to make that decision).
Au revoir mon cheries!!
