29/04/2008-Pets are NOT 'Disposables'
It is out of order to buy any pet and then just disregard it when it seems to have become an inconvenience. I hope the rabbits listed on a US rabbit rescue’s website get new homes where they are appreciated and cared for the way they deserve to be. -

10/07-Post Exam Date
When the necessity of focussing solely on the OU exam was past, it was back to life as usual for me. Job hunting, helping my Dad out at home and with grocery shop trips, time spent online and a couple of meet ups for coffee with my friend R when they could be fitted in around her home and job commitments. -
Wed 17/10/07-Pressure Off
I was sorting through paper based stuff in my room today. I had this idea that if I could find a place for my D318 course materials that meant they were not cluttering up my desk anymore, then it would properly symbolise that the course was completed.

09/10/07-Trying to Be Constructive
The sky looked grey when I got up at 7:45, and by 10:15 it was raining. My first job of the day was to clean the kitchen floor, glamorous eh? Later on I phoned the Open University to check about the student I.D. needed for my exam next week. I was told my passport would be fine to show, even though it is out of date and that I should also bring my ( Read more... ) -
Sept 07-A General Summary
OU EssayFor about ten days I was getting ‘brain strain’ working on the last Open University essay for the media and culture module I’ve been working through since Feb 07. I had to complete the reading before I could start writing the essay itself. My diary notes and anemail I sent to a friend on the 9th Sept might show my view on the situation at ( Read more... ) -
05/09/07-A Minor Fire
The month got off to an unfortunate start on the domestic front when our old vacuum cleaner caught fire. I was in the Lounge while my Dad was vacuuming in the hall. I could hear him swearing, but thought he was just annoyed at bits of woodshavings or leaves sticking to the carpet. He suddenly shouted a little louder to me, so I responded and he ( Read more... )
