Ladies,
Saw your post and just wanted to give all of you big hugs of encouragement. I started uni when my first bubba turned 1, and it was the most exciting, challenging but rewarding thing to do.
The best part was actually having a day where you were an adult, independant, and free for a day, instead of being "Chloe's Mum". I really enjoyed it.
One of the things that disillusioned me was the friend factor, I thought it would be like highschool and have lots of friends! But being an elder student, and part-time, I didn't really click with the 'gangs', and then I realised - I didn't want to either. Just because I had my bubba and family at home, and that is where I wanted to hang out IYKWIM.
I really hope all you ladies get the courses you want and really enjoy uni, or any other study...
Have fun!
