I said it would never happen....

but I've joined the (d)slr luggers again.... no idea what came over me, but succumbed this afternoon

The fact that it's 3 weeks till I go on holiday might have had something to do with it!



I know what I'm going to be reading for the next week.... and I decided that I was going to do T189 I wasn't going to do it with a compact!

Ian? Julia? Confused? That's me!

Off to Egypt in a few weeks - went out today to start the pre-holiday shopping, have my hair cut, visit the supermarket... buy a new camera (that wasn't supposed to be in the plan)

An impulse buy during an afternoon's retail thereapy session is one of the greatest pleasures in life imo. Enjoy the new camera and the holiday and that'll be the cherry on the top of the icing on the cake for you.

What's a T189? I'm just guessing here but is it another OU course?

Hi Pol - impulse it certainly was... after a fruitless hour in Matalan went off to get a haircut, thought I'd walk down into town - only made 200 yards before I ended up in the camera shop

T189 is the OU course that Julia and Jojo did last year. A friend's also done it and recommended it, so I think I'll have to dip in a toe soon. Unfortunately, it won't count towards a degree as I seem to remember it's a level 1 course and I've already got maximum points at that level. Not sure whether it fits with the Languages/European studies I was in, but who cares!

Re: I said it would never happen....

Ohhhh, now I never actually thought about doing a OU course, so just looked it up and sounds quite good.
Has anyone here completed the T189 and how difficult is it if you dont mind me asking?

Might be something to do over the summer months if I can find time.
cheers

Caz just confirmed in her posting it's the same one Julia and Jojo did last year. They set up a thread about it somewhere on the forum where they talked about it and shared some of their pictures from the course.

Maybe Julia or Jojo will pop in later and either post the link to the thread or give a few pointers as to how they felt about it.

If you do decide to go for it don't feel shy about registering and sharing some of the experiences.

You're under no obligation to use your real name. Just choose a nickname and a hotmail email a/c if you feel more comfortable with that sort of arrargement. Your forum nickname doen't have to be the same as your email nickname either.

I dug out the link. It's a dedicated forum board entitled "Julia's OU Course" in the 'help and advice for beginners' forum.

HERE's the link.

- that's for making me feel like a prat for thinking you were an unregistered, shy lurker.

I also confess to missing the sticky at the top of the forum. I dug out the link by doing a forum search.

I'm certainly looking to do this course after reading up on it yesterday. My only concern is I work 60hrs a week and dont want to get into it only to find I havent got enough time, although there is plenty of hours on a sunday I guess =)
Cheers for the info!
