OU Degree

[xoggoth]

For a suitable fee I can sell you my degree certificate, I don't need it any more.

[Mich the Tester]

Agreed.

If you're thinking about doing OU and you work full time make sure you are going to really enjoy the subject area otherwise you will probably give up. Getting home at 7pm after a long day and crap traffic can really demotivate you from getting the books out, unless you really want to do it for pleasure.

In answer to Minestrone about why do a degree at this age. For me it is the academic rigour that has to be applied. I'm interested, nay obessed, with the Classical world and have been reading about it for years. Having to do assignments, attend tutorials, revise for exams etc makes me really dig down into it instead of page flipping to my favourite bits.

For example take Homers Iliad, I've read it a few times and have enjoyed the story. Since however having to do some serious work on it I have seen it in a different and infact more glorious light.

I only did the last 1.5 years of my BSc with OU due to circumstances and not by choice; family business had gone under in one of those nasty recession thingies and there wasn't the money to study full time.

What really did benefit me is the PGDip; postgraduate diplomas on the OU in work related subjects are worthwhile and very applicable to work. Now though, I'm doing geology on the OU for the intellectual development and because I find it interesting. I do study, but at the slowest allowable pace as believe it or not, I have a life outside of CUK!

I've never understood all the fuss about Jennifer Lopez. She's nothing special.

But isn't she supposed to have a huge bum? What else matters in a woman?

[minestrone]

Ah well, at least you're aware of your ignorance.

Shakespeare? You heard of that bloke?

Size 16 arse.

Hubba Hubba.

Heard of his sister, didn't know that he had seen MIM though.

I recall doing the Illiad in Latin lessons, it was interesting, although the Latin turned me off somewhat.

Perky tits, legs, long flaxen hair, cooking skills and a good "technique".

Rich, ageing parents are a bonus.

[xoggoth]

I do apologise for detouring a sensible and educated thread into bottom conversations again. I won't mention them again on CUK for at least 5 minutes.

Just 'legs'?
