Well it’s official, I am once again a student! Nearly 10 years after I finished school, I’m finally going to college. I decided to take two Open University courses, M150 - Data, Computing and Information and T175 - Networked Living: Exploring Information and Communication Technologies

So far everything is very straight forward and pretty much as I expected. Some things on the course are very, very simple but it is still interesting non the less. My main worry is that I’m not going to take it seriously and end up getting caught out further down the line.

How do other people deal with taking university courses in something which you have 8 years practical, hands on, experience with?
