    Now, I'll have no reason to try to learn how to spell superannuation (did I spell that right?). You're the first person that I ever heard that word from...

    Good luck on the journey

    I'm on a new journey & start university on Tuesday. I know I might have to do some more crap jobs whilst studying but I can now see beyond them. I'm tired of doing dead end type roles & not moving forward. (well, except on my bike )

    I know i'm in for some hard work but I have Ian to support me. That and he'll ensure i'm in tip top form! I look forward to learning & THINKING!!! Uh, in terms of writing papers... This time I aim to do ALOT better than when i completed my first degree!!!

    This time I know i'll have a degree relevant to a specific career upon graduation, be able to transfer the skills overseas and work in the public/private sectors. In case i forgot to mention, i'm doing a degree in Urban & Regional Planning.

    *Breathes sigh of relief*

    Wow that has come around quickly. I remember when you first mentioned your starting date and it seemed a long way off. Good luck for Tuesday.

    CC, you will be great. I am really enjoying school. It's the first time since I graduated college, in the 70's, that I have been a full time student. I did my first Master's degree at night. What a slog that was.
    My biggest fear was being the oldest person in my program, but I am not. Although there are 2 students who were in my oldest son's HS class!

    Good Luck!

    today

    Thanks ladies for all your support!

    The first day (today) went well & am happy that i've returned to uni. I was a bit nervous & wondered if i had done the right thing but it's all coolio.

    The work with my previous company I think gave me prior knowledge that I didn't even realize would be useful. I found myself nodding my head in the lecture as the areas in Western Australia he referred were ones that the previous company had dealings with...interesting..

    Now all i need to do is figure out what's wrong with my back tire? I went to pump it up this morning just to be on the safe side bt it just deflated and wouldn't pump up at all. I think there's an issue with the valve? I have to remove the pannier rack first

    Thanks again!
