I guess this is just a bit of a woohoo for me (perhaps I should have put it in the woohoo forum! lol). I have been largely absent from BB this year as I have been busy following my dream. After the third year in a row of trying to get into my chosen degree at my chosen uni I finally got an offer last January. SO I took this as a sign that I had to seize the opportunity and go for it. I only took on a part time load as financially I have to stay in paid employment 3 days a week. I am also a first time uni student at the age of 35 so it has been a huge learning curve and somewhat stressful to say the least. There were times where I almost threw in the towel, and there were times where I felt like an aweful mum being stressed out and less patient with the kids than I should have been. But I made it! Well I'm 1/6 of the way there at least And I managed to finish the year with 3 High Distinctions and 1 Distinction (I was 0.9 of a mark short of a HD on that one). I know marks don't really matter as long as you pass but it was so rewarding to have the time I put in validated.
I am really looking forward to next year when I begin sharing the journey with 20 beautiful follow through women, and in semester 2, I commence my rostered shifts at the hospital.

BRING IT ON !!!!!
