Calling all fellow Open University
Watch this postAny other OU students out there? I know it is now quite expensive in England but sure there must be some of you out there. I have been an OU student since 1999 and still have lots of modules I would like to study.. What are you studying and are you enjoying keeping your brain active?!

I got to 50 this year and as someone much wiser than I said ‘it’s certainly better than the alternative’ like most everyone I’ve had an up and down life and this year has been not so great..my mother passed away in heart breaking circumstances and I’m just reconvening from a major operation.
Last year I sold my house and was all ready to finally start my life but it’s been taken over. I’m hoping to be in the position to be well enough in the new year to start again.
I’m had an arranged marriage, widowed, had to look after my son and Parents but me it’s my turn.
I’ve read the posts on the Open University and would love to study and do all that I couldn’t when I was younger...getting engaged at 14 was not my plan... I’d like to find a study buddy and someone who will help me to discover my passion in life...I mean work wise...in exchange I promise to make you laugh till your belly hurts and cook marvellous Indian food on a regular basis. I’m based in zone 4 and happy to travel,
Much love

I haven't done any as yet but I will. I have not worked for several years so I do as much as possible free..
Currently I am doing a free language course elsewhere
