Been a little busy
I knew this week was going to be busy with my Maths course I’m doing but on top of that I had a few knitting orders which came in on Monday.
Monday evening after getting home from my course and being worn out because I’d been doing a mock exam (test), one of my housemates wanted some knitting doing. Two Matinee cardigans, two hats and booties all to match. Then about 2 hours later I got an Etsy order for some egg cosies.
The egg cosies have been shipped and now working on the other order. So it’s all been a little busy, with another mock exam (test) today. Maybe I’ll do my exam on Friday, although it down to me if I feel I’m ready to do it. The courses are only short but they do pack a lot into them. At least by the end of it I was gain an A-C grade GCSE, hoping for an A, but B will be good enough. Just need to iron out silly mistakes. If I gain an A or B I would like to take it further and do an A-level maths course. Sorry I’m not sure what that is in the USA or the rest of the but the people in the UK will know what I mean.
How are you all how’s your week going so far?

I am guessing A Levels would be like our Honors type classes or there's another term for it as well but essentially it means the highest tier of educational instruction.
Good Luck.

@kevin1877uk Math was never my strong suit. I hated it and the way it was taught. Of course I've heard so muc talk about the way things are taught here now that I suppose I should count myself lucky.

So you are taking the Math course for GCSE? Do you just do it for your own interest or do you need to do it for your work? Are you only taking the Math or a few other papers as well?
I know what GCSE is, as I think it used to be quite popular here long time ago. My children are home schooled, hence I am also looking for these International exam certificates. I have read about GCSE and iGCSE, and it seems like iGCSE is more for International students.
Glad that you got more orders for your egg cosies. Hope you'll get them done soon, then you can take a short break.
I have been busy with my freelance project and also working online, I am also crocheting some Easter crafts for my children.

@kevin1877uk It's always good to continue our education. I guess it's not easy for us, especially when we have put down the studies or preparing for exams for quite a long time. I always thought of further studies after I have just graduated from uni, but now I think I am not ready to go back to education and studying hard yet. 
Happy studying!

Work main and also to better my education, I would like to take it further if I could, and go on to A-level and then maybe O-level but doing this course has already fried my brain being worn out by it all. I guess I'm not used to being back into education and learning.
