So, now the question is, what do I have planned for 2010? Well, amongst other things: Taking the RSCM Silver Award Trying to run a half marathon, and/or trying to run a sub-30 minute 5K. Actually, from where I’m standing right now, just getting running again would be a good start! Completing the Nijmegen Vierdaagse…

Since I was in the UK this weekend, I took the chance to go to Leeds to attend a day school for my ongoing Open University course in Biological Psychology. Having given most of my attention to the Human Biology course over the last few months, the day school was a great opportunity to refocus…
This afternoon I hosted a small study group for my Biological Psychology course – of the six people on the course who are based in The Netherlands, we managed to muster up 3 participants (including myself). We spent about three hours chatting and discussing various aspects of the course – how the OU works, how…
As a general rule, most of what arrives through my letter box is not of great excitement – junk mail, letters addressed to the previous occupants, or if I’m really lucky, a bank statement. As it happens, there was one thing I’ve been expecting for the last week or so – the results from the first…

Just logged into the OU website to find my result for the Studying Mammals course – 82 percent. There would be a percent sign but punctuation is quite a challenge on a Morroccan keyboard. Anyway, Im very pleased.
… SK195 – Human Genetics and Health Issues. The current course is going so well that I already made the choice to sign up for the next one! Have also heard about some new up and coming courses such as Forensic Science which sound really interesting. I think the OU can keep me out of…
Great excitement when I got home on Friday night (or should that be Saturday morning) after a relaxing few drinks at our monthly choir social, and found a parcel waiting for me. Despite the lateness of the hour, I had to rip open the box of materials for my new Open University course, amongst them…
