Today was my first tutorial of my new OU course and two things were evident from the end of the first session.
1. This course reaffirms my belief that studying English literature was the thing to do. I just get it. I’m not struggling with the terms or what they mean and I love it!
2. Everyone there seems to want to do the same thing as me, namely, write. So, you would think that in a room of my peers I would feel at home. I didn’t. I felt outrage. Part of me seems to think this is a competition and they are a threat to my success. I shouldn’t feel like this, but I do and it worries me.
I shall perhaps explore this in another post when I have had a chance to digest what I’m thinking and feeling.
