MY DEGREE

BSc (Honours) Computing and IT

University: The Open University
Started: October 2014
Graduated: October 2021

I like organising and analysing and I love science and computing. However, I am not so much a cog in the machine, but rather someone who can analyse the machine, find the problem, and fix it by replacing a cog, building a new cog or making an interface for an older cog to work with a newer cog. Sometimes this involves analysing copious amounts of data. For a full breakdown of my degree check out the menu bar at the top

IN MY SPARE TIME

Gardening

I like to spend some time in the garden with the flowers and the wildlife. Gardening is a great way of ubwinding and can bring a great sence of joy. The local wild life adds to the fun. For instance, I could watch the bees buzzing around the flowers gathering polen for hours.

My Garden

Since I began to really show an interest in the garden, I have learned about different flowers and what types of soil they like. For instance, lemon balm grows in any soil and in part shade.

I also learned that lavender and sunflowers draw in the bumblebees and butterflies. There are three types of bumblebees: honeybees, garden bees and white tails. Bees, however, are not the only wildlife in the garden: cats, hedgehogs and birds all enjoy my garden too.

Baking

I like to spend time in the kitchen baking and cooking. I also like to read about food and nutrition. To be honest, I spend a lot of time on this hobby!

My Baking

While baking and cooking, I like to learn about nutrition and different diets.

Church

For the last 25 years or so I have visited many different churches all mainly Baptist churches in my local area. Recently, I have been attending Our Lady Immaculate and St. Etheldreda where i find the services very peaceful and calming. I love every aspect of the christian life including the life of prayer. Jesus never let me down.

Christian Life

I went to an Anglican school as a child and then to a secular secondary school. Later, in my mid-twenties I was baptised by a pastor named Richard Underwood in Soham Baptist Church. I have spent a lot of time with Baptists and Salvationists. In resent years i feel at home with Catholism and in the Chatholic Church. I enjoy praying the Holy Rosay and reading the books in the Bible and in the end I felt pursued by Catholism.
