Uni Students 2008

[Peach]

Hey Everyone! Good luck with Semester 1 2008!

I have transferred from B EarlyChildhood to B BusinessAdmin.

Studying externally... after some long and hard thought I think my time in the Early Childhood industry is drawing to an end professionally. When I go back to work (in about 6 years time when my babies are at school) a desk just from 9-3 will be great!

wow Jen - im doing BECE and working three days - ive been in the industry for 12 years now and look at this course as the next step in getting off the floor but still able to have some contact time - im looking to head into ISS or Child protection after my degree

TBH i think i will need to do the course part time as i dont think i can fit it all in as well as all our IVF stuff too. But at the same time i really want o get this finished as soon as i can ahhhhhh

All the best with it Jen. My first degree I did Commerce and this time around I'm doing Early Childhood Teaching I figure there are loads of admin opportunities in EC when I get tired of the hands on stuff... I'm thinking maybe child advocacy or parenting education long term.
Pitapata- I'm studying part time. Dropping to only one subject this semester! But I'm not in a rush now we're having a baby as I don't want to go back to work for a few years.

I'm only doing one unit this semester and one next semester. With working 4 days a week 8-5pm, a family and uni to boot, I had to realistic about my course load. I also want to do well, so don't want to overburden myself and end up not putting enough effort into a spread of units because I don't have enough time for them all.

But yeah I would love to be able to do this full-time, and get it done so that I can move into work in that field, but right now, while it's my goal, it's a very very long term one. But I work coz I have to, so until I win lotto, I've got to take it a unit at a time, too.

I'm doing 2 units off campus this semester and I'm quietly wondering what on earth posessed me to do post grad studies as I read my Unit outlines.
After not studying for 7 years it's going to take me a while to get back into the swing of it!

Well I have pretty much all of my books now! I went to get one from the local uni bookshop on friday and I had Claire in the pram with me and they let me jump the huge queue. The line to get into the shop was about 100 metres long, then the line inside the shop to pay was just as long. They let me go to the front of both lines! Much better than standing in the line with a screaming baby.

I'm madly reading my texts like a huge nerd. DH tells me I am a nerd.

Nerd alert here as well! Gosh there is so much reading involved, its crazy.
