Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi, Please feel free to delete this as I just need a probably selfish rant! Basically, I'm starting a distant learning course in October with the Open University (mainly just to keep my brain working esp when I cant get around much). The OU have been very accommodating towards me and have arranged for me to have an assessment at the regional access centre about support they could offer me (think they mainly deal with specialist equipment and help towards the cost of taxis fairs that I would have to pay more of as a student with a disability than one without.. Hoping that makes sense) I was meant to have an appointment to go and see them on monday and as I am unable to get there on my own at the moment, my friend said she would take me otherwise they did not have another appointment for me till after my course has started in October. Basically, my friend has now let me down, and I have no way on getting there on monday which means Im going to have to wait till after my course has started (and just before my first op probably) to have an assessment. My friend now has other plans for Monday, and I'm probably being really selfish but I was relying on her. She has no idea I'm this upset about it as I don't want her to feel bad lol, but I have gone out of my way so many times to help her. Anyway Ima zip it now, and thanks for reading if you got this far Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
