Week 4

The work is starting to build up now. Today we had a visit from a careers adviser with information on filling out our forms for applying to university. On thursday we got out first proper assignment on health and saftey. It isn't looking too daunting at the moment but i'm getting the feeling that i'll have to start setting my pc up at home at last. Maths is going okay also. And i've only had one lesson of english so far so i'm unable to tell whether i've learnt anything or not from it. The plus side to it though is that there are 2 tiers. I'm hoping to get entered into the higher one just so I have the chance of maybe getting an A in a GCSE.

Wishful thinking.

week 3

So far so good. The course isn't so bad at the moment and alot of memories are starting to come back to me. Especially in maths and MS access. Victoria has told us today that we should expect a visit next week from someone called Trisha who is going to help us with our UCAS registrations. I eventually enrolled last week and am expecting my login and password today. Woo. So far the slowest lesson seems to be Lionels. But it's understandable as programming is a pretty hard subject to get around and he needs to make sure everyone is at the same level.

Really enjoying the course now and the pace is steadily improving.

Will update again soon

week 2

Started our first few semi-serious lessons with Beth Tomkinson and Geoff (our maths tutor). I think alot of the students (me included) may have had a small amount of trouble taking all of the information in at first. I'm hoping it will get slightly easier. At the moment though, I am enjoying the course. And I feel like I could learn quite alot. The course seems to be moving a fair bit quicker than my old college days. And alot of the information is coming back pretty fast.

It pretty early to be sure of how much work i'll be loaded down with so I probably don't deserve too much of an opinion at the moment. I'm hoping to get some assignments pretty soon and I'm pretty confident of getting some decent marks as well. Fingers crossed anyway.

The guys on the course are really nice as well. And I feel that we could have many good drinking games in the pub together.

1st Week of college

Hi. This blog is about me. In college, doing an Access to IT course. I am really looking forward to getting started properly and making headway with assignments. Being back in college gives me an odd sense of nostalgia. Having done IT for 3 years before in Abingdon 5 years ago and now doing the same thing once again in Oxford is... strange.

And now I will be doing this infernal blog for a whole year now, for a measley credit. If you are reading this, don't expect thrills and exciting stories. In fact, I don't think you should be reading this at all you nosy worm.

Anyway, first week is good and easy. Weathers nice. Hurrah! And the lecturers don't seem like assholes.
Yet :)
