Hi All
Okay, so my current predicament with my studies is in relation to advanced entry, for those who do not know what advanced entry is, it's when you obtain credits from one university and transfer them to another university and you are able to move on advancing years, rather than start at 1st Year again. I am still waiting for various in instituions to get in touch me over the next coming days so I can enrol and continue with my degree course.

It's been very a long hard road and now is finally when things get more serious, in 2016, I was student with the OU and things were great, however I had pattern of procrastination and I kept putting things off. I didn't have much confidence in myself and I was very lonely and frustrated that I wasn't attending a brick university like other people I knew. So without realising it at the time, I kept moving my calendar around without really thinking much of it and would often leave assignments to last minute.
I also found that I couldn't cope with the lack of structure and found that the student homepage, wasn't sufficient. Although we had schedule of what we was going to every week , i felt that even seeing three weeks worth of work was already causing anxiety and that built up over time. In the previous years, before it was modernised, it was easier to navigate and you knew from day one what you was doing however with modernisation of the site came a new set of challenges.
I also have problems with concentration, focus and attention span issues and these really played a huge part in being student. I felt that I couldn't put in enough hours and when I did put in those enough hours. It wasn't good enough and that hours flew by. It wasn't necessarily because I was lazy or I couldn't be bothered to put the effort in and I felt that my concentration, focus and attention was actually hindering my performance. I tried various techniques to combat the problem and was stuck in a rut.
So now I'm hoping to find out what is really causing the concentration issues once and for all and don't just settle because I am Dyspraxic as it can leave you feeling that there is not a lot that can be done and I personally feel it has let me down and there is more than just Dyspraxia to cope with.
