Results oh yeah

One year on I am tired, fatter (slightly thanks to quitting the cigarettes) healthier (see across) and honestly a lot happier with my self made lot than I was previously

2007 has been a good year, I have seen much of great beauty and experienced a great many things most will never even try, and I believe in it I have grown as a person as a soul, to 2008 and beyond I look forward now, for a first time in a long time...........

Santa Claus is coming to town, bringing guns and shooting you down.....Futurama Santa, now there's a story for the kids

My little man is as well as he is ever going to be thanks be to god and a decent vet.

MU120 final result A PASS : 73%

Which given everything inclusive of the huge gap in my maths education is simply brilliant and I am incredibly happy with it as a result
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rundblicks German T.M.A. result : 93%

First T.M.A. and a great result overall again very very pleased

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update on Sweep

Vets today and he is as healthy as he ever has been, possible correction of the head tilt over a longer time, or worse case no correction now at all.

Whatever he is a well dog who has already adapted to this disability and he is loved and should thus have the best possible life despite his head tilt.

Onwards and upwards as we speed towards my Birthday unchecked and seemingly finally making progress in my life personally at last.

What a simply great year this has been, yes health wise I could even cite now the degree of pain in my legs slowly fatiguing me beyond a point of exhaustion as being of concern, however I cannot complain or demand any more of the health service, they have utterly failed in their care of duty towards me and I shall rather endure the pain than be for one second longer a practice guinea pig for their inept ways.

Thus 2008 looms over the horizon but getting bigger every day, and it promises to be a great year, possibly as great as this one, I finally look forward, tinged with my usual pessimism because I await some other trial for me and mine to face.

All currently though is calm and for that I thank God.

December for result

My family coat of arms, (though I do own a slightly different version of this above)

Well today I got my response from my tutor regards when my MU120 result will be with me, yes December, just in time for an early Christmas present, or a Christmas tragedy rivaling Tiny Tims demise

we shall see, optimism has unfortunately left me currently, but it may return eventually

Onwards and well somewhere, Tuesday heralds the College thing to wit I am still feeling honored

The Pause

Me tinkering with a CMX 450 Honda Rebel for a mate, truth be told I love mechanics still, but hey the back/legs/knee's are not happy doing anything like it

Yes this is the pause, the held breath before the plunge, the ending, the beginning

Yup it is that piece of time where nothing is happening, because on one hand everything I was doing has ended, but very soon new things will begin

And I am lost in the wait, I miss my I.T.Q. if only because I left the house to do something twice a week and had to mix with other people.

I am anxious to hear my final results re the Maths MU120 to see if I passed, I hope I did.

I am however happy with the German G.C.S.E. and hope it will bring great things, though I am again anxious that I will have to do 'proper' exams, including Speaking which I am not great at, (just ask my best mate and my show at the wedding as best man and the speech)

Under pressure I can, but I feel so ill prior

Anyway I also am about to start the Rundlicks German for the O.U., again anxious as the course is set out slightly different from MU120

Still what would life be without worry, what would it consist of without these 'pauses' to reflect and prepare.........I just hope I am up for the next level of the challenge as I wish to move on in life.

Onwards, eventually................

Stag in Tatton park which I visited recently, beautiful animals.

Well today brings forth conclusion on the I.T.Q. course with a definitive closure of the course paper work coupled with me signing off the very last piece of required work

one single last visit into the I.T. part of the college for an 'exit' workshop which will take place next Tuesday and it is all done, I have achieved the I.T.Q. and I am very pleased about it

Reckoning is within two to three months I should have my certification, a very pleasing moment I am certain.

ok next closure is the final T.M.A. (04) has been checked, reworked and is currently sat on my desk awaiting special delivery for submission to the tutor for a final mark, this is the second to last piece of the MU120 maths, over the weekend I aim to finalise the last C.M.A. 45 and that is then full closure of that course, I hope I have achieved what was needed, I shall post up as soon as I know

So two great things in one single day

update when C.M.A. is submitted online plus update of mark obtained for both the C.M.A. and T.M.A. as and when I know

The very last I.T.Q. ever, ever well till the next one

Latest visitor to My Garden, Welcome a very small but extremely cute Hedgehog currently known as Harriot.

Ok yes today of all days was suppose to be the very last I.T.Q. however slight glitch in so far as the 'project part' being that there was four small minor things that required fixing as to meet the as of yet unquantified standard that is being set by erm, well MY work inclusive of MY project


Seemingly I am setting the standard as the staff have never marked one before and as such I think considering they keep holding it up to others to see they are setting a very very high standard indeed

Fortunately in an hour and a half (they assumed four) I 'fixed' all the minor things and now have a fully 'fulfilling their criteria to the letter' Project

And hopefully the very next I.T.Q. will be the honest to goodness last one ever, IF not I guess the next one will be.


Other news, Today arrived my O.U. German course materials

Looks fun

updates as and when, next on the list is my submission of the next and final T.M.A. 04, soon to be followed by the final C.M.A. 45 and that my friends is my MU120 complete (I hope) next Feb for MST 121

The Why

Why not is too flippant, so i guess an explanation is needed

37 years old now and honestly i have no direction nor attainment which i am proud of (Taking into account my parenting and husband attainments as naturally i am proud of those), BUT i am more than a Husband and Father i have 'qualities' allegedly

but sadly nothing by virtue of recognition for those qualities and so begins my 'journey of improvement' and it starts with

1) Non smoking since 18th December 2006

2) General attempt to 'place myself into the world'

3) The path of knowledge, to which is attached the OU course and potential degree

4) A language course, a very very basic language course and it just has to be German





and so I have begun, Roll on MU120, Roll on German for beginners i am here ready and as able as i am possibly ever going to be
