Another late night at work which actually appears to be a god send due to reports that a lorry is stuck under a bridge on my route home and traffic is at a standstill, hopefully it will be moving by 7pm!!!
It may appear by the title that I have finished TMA05 which isn't true, it still needs a little fine tuning before I can submit it but it reads okay, it's just the 'report' side of it that is making it more difficult. I really wanted to add the phrase 'people who say that you can't buy happiness just don't know where to shop' but I have stopped myself and kept it formal. I am quite a bit over on word count but will just need to get ruthless.
Due to another quiet day at work I have managed a fair bit of reading for TMA06 which is quite interesting. A very fair point is made in the textbook regarding migration and the actual definition of it, in fact I am pretty certain that the definition seems to be the main focal point of the whole text.
Managed to get a virus on laptop after watching too much Desperate Housewives so whilst it sorted itself out I did some ED209 reading and made a start on Chapter 2 which is the main reading for the option that I have chosen for ED209 TMA01 - Evaluate Piaget's theories and ones which disprove them. The reason I chose this one is that it seemed very much straight to the point rather than the other one which seems like it would de hard to get going with. I have also got a little ahead of myself and looking at the question and assignment notes for DD101 TMA07 which looks like it may take a little time.
A note of slight sadness - The blogger of www.astudentagain.net has given up on blogging to get on with study which is a great loss as I always looked forward to reading a new post.

New Job - Take 2
As it turns out, the job that I started back on December 1st has turned out to be a bad decision for lots of reasons so as of just now I have a job offer starting on February 1st with a company who are far more highly regarded and a known entity!! Will resign middle of next week and hopefully have a week or more off. I should probably go on about how I will use this time off to study which I obviously will mostly because I will be without a car but I'm certain that Desperate Housewives, Dexter and maybe Weeds could be included and a new boy toy that I have aquired!!!
Recieved Media Kit for ED209 so going to have a go through that a bit later. Have gone through the Methods and Skills book and highlighted important bits in yellow and theorists in green (too many coloured highlighters so still got to work out what to do with pink, purple and blue!!!)
TMA05 is currently put to one side and my actual hurdle in getting it done is actually the headings which I know sounds daft as I have the content so that is my next thing to sort.
TMA06 hasn't been started so will get on to that once TMA05 is in full draft stage, I think the reading will be interesting as it will have arguements for and against migration which is a topic I have fairly strong views on myself so need to make sure that they don't get in the way.

ED209 website opens
After another quiet day at work I opened my studenthome today to find the ED209 website open which has created a few more questions that answers!!
1) Is the Media Kit going to be on there? If not then I really want my copy as I am going to answer the question on Piaget for TMA01 after ready the study notes for both questions.
2) Where is the assignment mark section? Will this appear when the course actually starts?
3) The student notes for the assignments actually look more thorough than the ones for DD101.
I think ED209 looks like a lot of reading, I think I will be investing in Erika Cox's notes quite soon.
DD101 TMA05 is coming together quite nicely. I have notes, a report structure, headings (I suspect these will change though), a table of figures and I might even include the correlation chart showing economic growth vs happiness. Deadline 22nd March but suspect I'll have it done by Saturday unless work suddenly gets busy.
Been looking at the notes for TMA06 and have chosen the question on migrants because I hated identities and that appears to be what option 2 is about.
Day off work tomorrow and maybe only a little OU stuff, will probably log on at some point because it's addictive.
