1,000 down, just another 1,000 to go
That would be my TMA then which is now slowly being picked apart from the Mind Map a branch at a time and pasted into a document. It seems like a much less painful way to do things than staring at that blank white screen with just the question title at the top like I normally do. What I still don’t understand though is why I can twitter on happily here in verbose fashion but ask me to write 2,000 words on something i’ve been studying for the past 4 weeks and I go all slack jawed. Ho hum. Absolutely have to get it finished this week otherwise I’ll be on teh slippery slope down to "behind" from whence there is little hope of return. You know, I always though the idea of the OU was that you could work at your own pace to quite a large degree, this 7 TMAs with deadlines roughly 4 weeks apart followed by a 3 hour (4 for me with a break in the middle) exam 4 weeks later just doesn’t seem quite flexible to me!
In other news today….
Aprilia discovered "Radio 7" on the Cbeebies website and shrieked and giggled her way through most of the afternoon listening to that (hence 1,000 words done!) She also did some "copywork" (you know I’ve always said I was philosphically opposed to that and here I am blogging that she’s happily doing it!) and some phonics with long vowel sounds as well as doing some c-rods stuff from the C-rod alphabet book, some pattern block pictures then a picture with the rods of a house with a fence, grass, apple tree and her (with long blond hair???) in the garden. I’ve left the camera downstairs but I’ll Flickr tomorrow if I remember.
