Going back to Uni

Today’s the start of something new. On the same day that Ross’s Second Year Uni ‘Fresher’s Week' starts and Gemma’s final year of Uni course work starts, I’m starting my Postgrad Diploma course at Strathclyde Uni. So, this is a hastily scribbled post while I’m throwing my breakfast down and thinking about what lies ahead; two years as a part-time student (though I’m in every day for this first week) while finding the fit for it around work work for our wee business and my work at the hospice. It’s going to be a busy time, but I’m really looking forward to it (with some trepidation of course, but it would be weird if I didn’t feel a wee bit nervous!). 

So, I better head off and pack my school-bag! It does feel kind of strange to be heading off to Uni on the same day as two of my kids are (assuming that they’ve managed out of their kips from their respective digs....), and I’m delighted to have their support for me doing it. But, I’m excited and feeling good about this next new thing; meeting new people, learning new things and making the most of this new experience.

...and, I'm pretty sure that I'll have a  much better attendance record than I did during my first time around at Uni over twenty years ago....!
