The weirdness metamorphism is almost complete, I fear. I've become emotionally involved with Little Women and felt sad today when I discovered RL Stephenson died at the age of only 44.
I've done TMA01 (more-or-less) and the course hasn't started yet! It's a 2000-word essay on Little Red Riding Hood ...
I'm actually enjoying it - it's really interesting. And I now have a tutor, although am unlikely to attend any tutorials - one of them is in Taunton!
