It's been almost 2 weeks since my last blog entry. Hard to believe it's been that long. On August 6, 2011, I had a full time job, money in the bank and the most fantastic car! And now it's all changed. *sigh*
Because.....
Are you sitting down?
Ready?
I quit my job, sold my car, and put all my life savings (which, believe me, was quite dismal), into becoming a full time student next month! Oh My God.
Shocking, I know.
I have the most incredible employer who has agreed to keep me on part-time, AND on my terms, AND at the same salary, pro-rated of course. 14 - 18 hours a week, depending on my course load requirements. It is so much more than I could have ever asked for.
Jesus. I will be 37 years old this year and I find myself a full time student once again. I am fucking terrified.
I'm even giving up shoes for this!
And clothes!
And bags!
And jewellery!
And drinks after work with the girls!
And yeah, even smokes. Shit. I figure I need to quit sometime. Now is as good a time as any now that I'm totally broke.
Stupid tuition.
I will take any offers of lunches, dinners or beer. Your treat.
Confessions of a 36 Year Old University Student coming soon your way.
O-M-G!! You have a lot of courage! Think I am a little jealous...way to go girl. You are taking life and living it. That's awesome. You never mentioned anything either when we saw you. Course perhaps we never asked what was new with you either. I'm sure you will love it. What a future you have to look forward to. :-)
