We are into the first week of the program and whilst I’m managing to find extra time for studies. I’m having technical problems with the forums. I did try logging in through a UK VPN and it works fine, so it’s probably a local caching issue here in Dubai, (what are the chances of that…)

Anyway, my first reflections on using the forums are that I feel rustier than the titanic with my writing. It’s just something I don’t do and have not done for quite some time. The others seem comfortable writing pages and pages but it seems to take me hours to get out a paragraph… (well maybe not that long).

I’m going to need some tips on speeding up my writing, any thoughts out there?
