Thu 040626 WMCollege: Dropped out of all 3 courses that I had gone and signed up for...

2025

Let me think, the last term...I had tried hard to study to pass...
- GCSE English
- GCSE Maths
...both of which I 'failed'.

-(I wanted to get into university...for which you need both GCSE Maths/GCSE English.)- 

That made me feel really 'bad' about going to join in any more classes;
and, I didn't wish to re-take these 2 same subjects, in case I ended up 'failing', again.

2026

I was rather reluctant to sign up to go take any more courses at WMCollege for many reasons:-

-  due to the 1 hour long traveling both there/and, back. I guess, my body at age 63+ wasn't really feeling up to it, anymore. (As well as, due to my constant poor time keeping...; which tends to wind up teachers going the wrong way...?!)

I take a bus from West Norwood garage...over to Brixton tube station; then, from there take an underground train over to Warren Street; then, have to switch to go take another tube train over to Mornington Crescent tube station. Get out of Mornington Crescent tube station...and, bank right...cross over the road...and, go down Crowndale Road/past the junction...and, then, over to reach WMCollege itself.

- I honestly wanted to do art courses...; but, due to the funding drying up...; the cost of participation was way more expensive that I could actually afford.

- So, for that reason I elected to take doing 3 x FREE courses, instead.

-----

So far to date, I dropped out of all 3 courses that I had signed up for...

- MS Excel for Beginners (Sat Morning class: 10 AM. Teacher: Alex...forgot the last name. That 5 weeks Saturday short course ended...and, I always got there 'late')- 

- AI (Thu 2 PM, the Italian teacher, Francesco, threw me out...poor attendance/constant lateness. I liked the lessons...but, somehow or other, found I just couldn't quite get there on time...even, though it was an evening class during the day.)

- Bookkeeping, Level I (Thu 6 PM. Catherine Kouguem. I hadn't attended lessons for, at least, 4 weeks in a row...before that I had already missed 2/3 more lessons...; when you 'sign up'...you agree to attending, at least, 80% of lessons...; anyway, the teacher was really kind to me...; because she entered me to take the exam test on the 25th of June 2026 at 6 PM...which is still yet to arrive. I'm NOT confident about passing such as exam...even if I do decide to go...which I'm still not too sure about, yet...?! Might as well go and try...)

-----

I really don't know if I'm going to try and sign up to do any further classes at WMCollege...; maybe, I will let a year or so pass, instead.

I mostly want to stay home...and, study computer programming/-etc.

Or, possibly, find a different college to attend.

Or, even better still find a course which one can study from home...without having to, constantly, travel.

Tue 230925 - Attended early morning course. Thrown off late evening course...too advanced!

  2PM-5PM Early evening, attended class: Bridge to EDS/Essential Digital Skills. It was a fast class...I was expecting to see only beginners turn up...; but, instead, there were many more 'advanced' learners there, as well. ---- 6PM-9PM I tried attending the late evening class with Mohamed Hassan  Abas in Room 513; but, I got thrown out for being too 'advanced'. My intention is to join being in a Level II class, instead; if it's not already far too 'late'...?! ---- I went to the ILC/Individual Learning Centre downstairs...; and, there signed in to check my course timetable. Apparently, there is still 3/or, 5 tests to complete...all of which can be accessed by signing in to my learners a/c.

Both my GCSE Maths/GCSE English attempts failed for the last term: Year 2024-2025.  I decided rather than fail, again...; which is a whole year completely 'wasted'; might as well try doing something else, instead...; where I'm more or less guaranteed to pass...so, I decided to try doing 'beginners' level computer...; and, try and slowly work my way up from Level I to Level 3.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.01 - My current college timetable ----- Mon ...

Fri 071125 Went to WMCollege: Social Media for Employability: Video communication.

10 AM - 12:30 PM Missed my Thursday AI-Artificial Intelligence class/Room 403 Unfortunately, I keep on telling myself that I only signed up for evening courses...; which happen after midday...; thus, giving myself more time to sleep in bed. In fact, the Alexa bedside alarm went off at 8 AM...; and, I just reached out to shut it up...; then, went straight back to sleep, again. It was only afterwards...that I, all of a sudden, realized I'd just gone and missed my very important AI-Artificial Intelligence class -which I 'love'- that starts at 10 AM...?! ----- 1:30 AM - 4 PM Social Media for Employability/Room 513  This time, weirdly enough...I arrived in college on time...; in fact, too early. The real reason why I arrived there early was...the clocks went back 1 hour...; and, I had forgotten to update the clocks. Anyway, the lesson went well...; unlike last time...when I felt light arguing with some really annoying woman...who was talking to me in a rude tone...; but, I decid...
