Going back to school tomorrow...

Well, I've gone and done it now. I have quite my full time job and have went part time, and tomorrow I start my prep Maths and Science course's tomorrow.

The Science will be a breeze (I hope) as I was really good at it at school plue my partner is doing health science atm as well, so a lot of what I'll be doing she will already have done. And then there's the maths. This scares the crap out of me, I hated it at school, I like the blame in on a crap teacher but deep down I know I was just lazy. So now I pay the price and I have to go back and do it all again at age 33.
I'm hoping to back and do a Physics degree next year but I need to get 80% on both course's (mmm I thought it was spelled coarse instead of course, weird sp check thing) in order to "apply" for the degree. I hope I can do it, I really really hope I can do it.

I've always regretted not doing it the first time around so I'm coming back for a second bite....

Wish me luck.

Sandy

Hi Sandy, It's all about positive thinking, keep telling yourself that this is want you want to do and nothing else matters.
That's how I did my geology degree along with some hard study.

All the best
