I want to study

Firstly, happy Canada Day to all my Canadian visitors. Hope your day is enjoyable!

I have been doing quite a bit of thinking lately, I really want to get back into studying. I have had a few people recommending the Open University and it is something I am looking into. I figured if I am going to be unemployed, I might as well do something productive with my spare time, such as developing on what skills I have and possibly help me on the employment front. I am not sure what course to do, I have been looking into the Certificate in Web Applications Development. It sounds interesting. I don’t know whether to go for the course before that one that seems relatively easy, it seems so basic for someone with my web design skills. However, starting with the basic course may get me back into the swing of studying. Anybody ever took an Open University course? Any advice?

I’m not sure what to do at the moment. I’ve been applying for work left, right and centre. I have been chasing up applications but not hearing a thing. I am stuck in a rut, and it is taking its toll. I haven’t been sleeping well, sometimes I have been awake until 4am. I am having bad dreams almost every night. I am wasting away in this pokey flat with nothing to do to pass the day other than apply for jobs and clean. I want to learn again, I want to stimulate my mind. I think doing some sort course will help me out. I can get financial help for the courses, so what have I got to lose?
