Hi everyone!
I am starting with the OU in June and am beginning the long journey towards a dream....a degree! I am an (im)mature student who left school in the days of O levels and felt then that a University education was beyond me.
My name is Stuart (Stu or Stuey) and I live in Bristol.......anyone else from God's country?
I am disabled with a much misunderstood medical condition called fibromyalgia as well as suffering from CFS and oesteoarthritis. I have been unable to work for quite some time & I began writing a novel, the first draft of which is now complete. I love books and have my own blog, which is dedicated to reviewing historical fiction (Sir Read-A-Lot) and I am the Managing Editor for the Historical Novel Society's Independent Review Team.
The BA I have chosen (Q66) is English Literature with a Creative Writing pathway; I have wanted to do something like this for such a long time as it is my first love, and so I decided to take the plunge! I am starting my studies with the Access 2 Success route, course Y180, before moving onto the first module of the BA.
I look forward to meeting and chatting with some of you........all the best!
Stuart
