Thought i would drop by and introduce myself and also to see if any of my fellow Discovering Psychology students are around.
My name is Matt and im from Kent. My first module ( Discovering Psychoology ) begins in November and i am studying towards my BSC Psychology Degree....I cant wait as its something i have wanted to do for many years.
I very much look forward to commencing my studies and meeting you all.
Hey
I'm starting the intro into Pyschology in Nov and I'm not too far from you (Essex). It's been ages since I studied so I thought this would be a good one to start with so I don't get too overwhealmed, also studying towards the BSc Hons Psychology. Just sitting waiting impatiently to start; although I'm sure when it starts I'll be complaining about having to write essays (oh dear, oh dear ... ESSAYS!! .. eek) What are you doing next ? I have signed up for the DD101 in Jan hoping it will not be a huge leap from one to the other.
Emms :0)
Hi,
I am also doing the course in November. I have been with the OU for a few years studying IT. My secondary subject is Psychology so I am looking forward to a change from Javascript and XML!! :)
I am in the North, Liverpool.
Can't wait to crack on with this course, I am sooo impatient. :)

Hi everyone!
My name is Agnes Snukute ( you can look me up on Facebook) and I am also doing the DSE141 as well as the D171 here in the next couple of weeks. I'm very excited and I think it's awesome that we can all get in touch with each other and help out if necessary.
Good look to everyone!
Hi, my name is Corrina, I'm from Norwich in Norfolk.
My course book arrived today :) spent 2 hours reading through the assignment booklet and the introduction in the book. Lots to get my head around (due to daughter talking in the background). Have lots of time tomorrow as day off work!
Good luck everybody :D
Hi Corrina I'm from Norwich too!!

Goodluck
Netty
Hi Netty,
I'm glad I'm not the only one in Norwich :) Yes this is my first time studying with the OU. I'm doing Y183 alongside DSE141 as I haven't studied for about 20 years, so I have to get back into it.
My daughter is ill and off school for the rest of the week, so I can't look at the book during the day. I think I can say, I'll have a bit of light reading when I go to bed tonight lol :)
Corrina
Hi Corrina,
Had a look at the booklet about TMA's not sure whether to panic or not!!I'm doing L192 along side DSE141 which is beginners french.
Hope your little girl gets better.Enjoy your light reading!!where about in Norwich are you I live in Brundall,east of the city.
Netty
Hi Netty,
I live on the Old Catton/Sprowston border. I'm like you I don't know whether to panic or not. I read through TMA 01 and thought I can't do this, but I am starting on the chapter today, to see if I can make more sense of it. If not, I will do extra research and make sure I do understand it :)
Corrina
Hi Corrina,
Glad I'm not the only one thinking goodness!!I daren't look at my book too much as I'm waiting for a comb bound version to arrive and I presume they will want the other one back to reuse.
At least we should be at the same tutorials I think they are at CNS School.I have no idea about how the course starts,but I may be being a bit dense!
Happy reading
Netty

Hi All,
I am starting the course in November. I'm in Essex and have to say, feeling a tad nervous. Havn't studied for a while so any advice. I am having to juggle full time work also.
Would love to hear from anyone feeling a little apprehensive too!!
Good luck all!
whatever we do 4 1st time can be a stepping stone 4 every1,but as time goes by,you ll feel more and more confident,just enjoy the trip..:) and good luck
Thanks Vangelis. I am certainly going to try and enjoy. I am looking forward to it.
Hello all, I'm Em. I'm doing DSE141 towards a BSc in Philosophy and Cognitive Psychology. Eek!
I have my books, now what?!
Netty, if you need a hand, I'm fluent in French (my first degree was French Lang and Lit at Leeds).
I'm on FB (there are a lot of Emma Freemans on FB, but I'm the only one whose profile pic is a South Park-style Weemee holding an artist's palette!). Forgive me if I don't give you all my email address, but I'm on FB every day anyway, so I'm not hard to find!
ttfn
luv
em
P.S. I'm in Cambridgeshire!

Netty

Hi to everyone on the BSc Psychology course starting in November with DSE141 Discovering Psychology.
I'm Lesley, known as Lel by family and friends, so will answer to both!! I live in Berkshire and will be attending the tutorials in Reading, so look forward to meeting up with anyone from this area. I'm 43 years old and going for a massive change of career from retail to this!! Like everyone, little nervous as haven't studied for several years (school was a long time ago for me!) but reassuring to see that others feel the same way.
Good luck to everyone on the course and happy learning.

Hi All, I'm also doing DSE141 and I am sooo nervous and I haven't even recevied my textbook yet! This is my first OU course and I'm working towards a BSc Health Science. I'm also on fb, I live on the Island of Tiree which is off the west coast of Scotland so no tutorials for me (a bit to far away).
Good luck to everyone
