Good News Today!!!
« on: March 31, 2008, 17:12:24 »
Have to share my news coz I am really really excited :D :D :D

After months of waiting, I am today officially a student and got my funding authorised to do my Horticulture course leading onto the degree.

I am soooooooo pleased, lots of heartache persuading the funding people that I would do the course etc and complete it.

Going to be wierd calling myself a student at my age though :)

You sound like you deserve it. Students are ALL ages these days - i didnt get to uni til i was 29.

Congratulations! 34 and in second year of my degree, you're never too old to learn, in fact I think it helps to be older sometimes when it comes to studying! Go for it and enjoy it! ;D
What I lack in ability and experience, I make up for in sheer enthusiasm!!!

Well done! 8)

You are never too old....I did my MSc. in my early 40's over 2 years...nearly killed me as I was still working full time as well, but I was glad to get it over and done with.....folks nowadays are taking about 5 years to complete!
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
