Yes, I'm back. I've been in hibernation for the last couple of months - didn't really have much to say. I actually deleted my blog altogether which was rather scarey for a while there. But I figured, I've been keeping a record of 'my life as a mature age student' for so long, I have to continue. At least until I've graduated and I'm no longer a student. Wonder what I'll be then?
Anyway, update, update, update...Uni is going extremely well and I'm now a member of an honours society, 'being in the top 15% of my peers' at university! Five years ago, if you'd have told me this I never would've believed you. I didn't think it was possible for me to even get into uni, let alone do so well. I've now made peace with the fact that I try hard and receive the results I strive so hard for. Although, there's still that little voice inside me at the beginning of each semester telling me this could be the semester it all starts to go downhill.
Nevertheless, it's time for me to start thinking about my life post-uni. Should I consider doing post-grad? Should I look for work? If so, in what field? I do rather like the idea of being a lecturer/tutor at a university but I can't even contemplate a PhD at the moment.
For the time being I think I'll concentrate on the journey rather than the destination.
