off to uni
as per title really....just as my life starts to get busy my open uni course starts! I'm doing 2 preporatory courses before I start my diploma in environmental policy. So it's a long haul but hey once I'm done I'll be able to put the 'dip env pol' after my name and actually get into the industry that I want to work in (developing renewable fuel resources). Due to my circumstances I've got funding for all the courses
I've done a few open uni courses at home but this is the first one where I have to go back to the class room. I can't wait to get my teeth into it and start learning again
I think the time is right for me to look forward and plough on (Some of you guys will know exactly what I mean) so thanks to all my good friends on here (old and new) you've all been a real help and support.....like real friends should be
So anyway....off to hit the books....and resist watching diagnosis murder

Good Luck! I decided against uni in the end. Couldn't be bothered waiting 3 years to get a job similar to the one I have now.

Re: off to uni
M1K3Y_B - so if I should do things exactly as I would of done when I was orginally meant to go then that means my £250 grant should be frittered away on alcofrolics....hmmm I already have plans for that cash and it doesn't involve drink. Certain birthday presents will be sorted out with that money
Vix - thanks for the support hun
Chum - it's too late....I've moved on

Re: off to uni
No I'm older and wiser (HAHAHAHA) these days and that money will go towards a certain persons birthday present
Anyway, I'm such a lightweight that I'd be under the table after £2.50's worth

Re: off to uni
I wish you all the best Em, you know I will be there for you (to check spelling etc
)
You've been through some s**t over the last year, I think you can finally look forward to a brighter future now
My birthday is soon, but I want to cancel it for a few years please

Re: off to uni
Well I just got my first assignment back....70% good girl!!! Really really surpised as I didn't think I'd do as well as I did it from start to finish in 2 hours
I'm so pleased, it's been a long since I last had to write an essay. Bit of a shame that this only counts towards 4% of the overall course mark but it's a good start. Onto the next section of 'questioning identity' now and the next assignment

Re: off to uni
thanks Lou....not got as far as lord humphreys tea room trade yet (i hope that's right study that I remember us chuckling about. If not then this won't make much sense...a bit like me saying george lincoln instead of abraham lincoln
)
but anyway, im really really pleased so I'm eager to get on with the next bit. Once Max is in bed tonight (after we've had our cuddle under the blanket on the sofa and he's covered me in thomas the tank ENGINE stickers) I'll hit the books....no wild saturday night for me....til next weekend
