Title: Good News Today!!!
Post by: springbok 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 :)

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
