The Open University

So, I have applied for a placement on the Open Uni and I hope to get a BA (Hons) English Language and Lit. I won't find out if I'm successful for awhile yet and the course doesn't start until October. I need to get my skills up and I need to start practising my non-existent essay skills. I don't mind telling you, I'm shitting it!

I have been out of school for over 20 years and I haven't studied seriously ever! ha! however it is time to get serious and knuckle down.

Any tips would be appreciated!
