I recently got back the marks for my latest Open University assignment. I’m doing a general science module this year (compulsory for the Natural Sciences degree I might obtain some time this century) and last month’s topic was biology. Disturbingly, despite my background in zoology, I scored lower on this assignment than on any other [...]

Devised a strict timetable today that should enable me to revise the entire course before the exam on 19 October, while preserving time for my writing (and even some gardening!). If I spent half as much time working as I do making plans to work, I’d get an awful lot more done! Spent one of my ‘slots’ today writing [...]

Finished my last astronomy assignment and sent it off! (Although apparently there is a postal strike in Oxford, so who knows when it will arrive?) Tremendous feeling of relief and release! Then wrote my first Suite101 blog post, ‘Thigh Circumference and Cardiovascular Disease‘ (catchy title, eh?). Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook Share [...]

Published my 26th Suite101 article, ‘Artificial Hip Joint Replacement for Arthritis‘. Looks like a rotten day for page views, however. When I have cleared the mountain of coursework that faces me over the next few days, I might actually find the time to start my Feature Writer blog.

With just over two weeks to go to the Mallorca trip, seven and a half weeks to the exam, one week to the latest assignment deadline and six days to submit the pre-Mallorca assessment, I have been concentrating on coursework today. I can’t wait to lose myself in my fantasy world tomorrow! Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook [...]

Tweaked the General Medicine meta information — don’t know whether it will make much difference to PVs, but at least I have put my stamp on it. Otherwise, tried to continue with the reading for my astronomy course. Observational cosmology today, which is fascinating (I wouldn’t be paying to do all this work if it wasn’t!), but [...]
