Unfortunately not been a good day and got to the point that I was feeling life was not worth living! ..
.. (JOKE!!)
So here's a bit of a vent...
When I recieved my mark for the last assignment from OU had the same comments about not writing a legal document but an essay. I was very dissapointed as I have continually asked my tutor and others at the OU to let me have either a past paper or a brief that will show me how this is set out. All I get is a waffle on about not having anything like that to hand and then the usual pointing me to the assessment guide where the advice on the subject is "Brown thinks that blue is better than red" ..!! Now how on earth is that any help when I don't know how to phrase things in the first place! Sent an email back to tutor stating this and adding that it is llike telling someone how to ride a bike when they have no idea what a bike looks like in the first place!!
Then, having enquired about additional help in types of assistance for reading supports, I find that the assessment form on my module site is for this and not financial support and I have to get a letter from my doctor stating my disabilities. Letter sent and I get a phone call from him saying that I do not have Ankylosing Spondilitis nor do I have Polymyalgia! Being truely startled at this info he goes on "am I on steroids?" ..No.."then you do not have these complaints but I do have..etc. etc. Am feeling extremely upset by this time and then to cap it all, my cleaner doesn't turn up!
However, about 3pm she rang and said she had been round at 10 mins to 2..knocked, rang the bell twice, knocked again and then left. I cannot believe that I didn't hear her... must be getting more deaf than I had thought. However, she has agreed to come tomorrow and we did have a good laugh about it. Certainly lifted my spirits.
Then my sister rang this evening so was able to have a nice heart to heart with her... so all things are feeling much better at the mo'..
