Life doesn’t have to be difficult. Things don’t have to become complicated. If you treat life simply, it can and it should just be simple. But in prison, this very often isn’t the case. In fact, it is so rarely the case that it truly shocks me when things are done right or done well. I wish that wasn’t the way it is, but it is. And just lately I got a real shock when something was done even better than I thought possible.
and if you were in the large local Prison where I am on the IMB Board and had made a written complain to the IMB I am certain we would have addressed this rapidly and got back to you wihth positive answers whilst in the CSU, I know only too well how prison is slow beyond belief in many issues but my experience is that education issues get addressed fast ( although it does depend on the people involved also)
Glad that you obtained your extension. I am chronically ill and the OU were always great about such things. I then went on to conventional university. For the first 2 years they were great – I was on course for a 1st. Unfortunately, in the final year when I was terribly ill, they withdrew this support at examination time and messed up my arrangements (I received a 1st for my other exam), and for a final submission that I only needed another 2 weeks to complete. I could wait another year to graduate but I was just too ill. Still got a 2.1 though!
Well done anyway as OU is harder than conventional university, it’s more on a par with the top 10 universities we all know of.

Thanks Sasson. As you may have seen from my recent post, the OU dramas continue, but I’m still holding out hope that it all works out in the end.
